Hard to tell, but the brown color leads me to believe it is not a water moccasin – I’ve never seen a brown one or a picture of a brown one. (Amateur herpetologist in my younger days.). Probably just a non-venomous water snake.

I really have a difficult time determining a water snake from a moccasin sometimes. I've killed a few that I later realized were harmless.

Most the time it’s someone posting a pic of a watersnake that people want to say it’s a moccasin. Very rare for someone to post pic of a moccasin and many people try to say its a watersnake

This is no doubt a cottonmouth/water moccasin. That triangular head is rigid, it’s not being flattened out to look like that

Maybe it is a water moccasin but it identifies as a water snake?
