I'm not sharp when it comes to African colubrids, but my first thought was wolf snake.

Re: Snake I.D. Help
hard to tell from all the graininess but my first impression was a cobra or mamba, granted, I have no experience with this region or it's snakes.

Re: Snake I.D. Help
What about a herald snake? It's got that nice, bulbous head.

I am leaning towards a spitting cobra.
It was found in a populated area and I have found a few in that exact spot.
Thanks for the replies.

Aren't the sympatric spitters a bit more girthy? Not that I would rule it out based on the quality of the photo, just seems "off" to me.
