Can't rule out copperhead b/c of picture quality. But those bands look like a cottonmouth to me. More jagged and irregular that a copperhead's, which are usually smoother.

I'm about a 5/10 in snake identification. I can identify most species we have around here but I'm definitely no expert

I know that one would get the garden hoe in my yard.

Having blown up the pic a bit on my phone, I am sticking with Cottonmouth based on the band pattern.

Another vote for cottonmouth here. Jagged bands, and it also looks like it has the dark bar on the side of its head typical of cottonmouths.
