Can someone ID this millipede? Thanks

N. americanus
I would say it's more than likely a Narceus sp. , probably americanus. However, it does have some interesting coloration. That's one thing I love about this species, you can collect a bunch from the same location and all will have slightly different coloration.

 
Thank you:
I'll be sure and say "probably" if I post elsewhere.
