Looks similar to one I saw in our neighborhood this week.
Looks like a black racer.

Got one out of our warehouse 2 weeks ago, the markings on the B&W pic are about the same, and the head is a lil bit triangular. Almost mistook the one I saw as a copperhead in the low light of the warehouse

Picked up one of those for the first and last time many years ago. They have no trepidation about bitting at all.

I think Black Rat Snake because the underbelly is white and on a black racer it is blue. Just my two cent's !
This one just has a white chin like almost every black racer I've ever seen. Black rat has the entire underbelly white with blotches. The head is different on a rat snake, too.

Zero doubt, that's a Black Racer. Ratsnake head morphology is very different, also Racers have smooth scales with a satiny finish. Ratsnakes have keeled scales and a glossy finish.
Coach whip and black racer are two separate snakes.
