Copperhead Snake? Nope Juvenile Eastern Rat Snake

This guy was chowing down on a vole on my front walk this morning. Looking online I'm pretty sure it's a Juvenile Eastern Rat Snake - which is a constrictor and not a copperhead.

This guy has the black sunglasses on his head.

  I am no EXPERT but it doesn't look like the Coppers around here.
