Great Pondhawk?
This seems more consistent with a Great Pondhawk based on abdominal patterns and colors.

Can't Confirm
Eye color should be gray green (male) or dark brown (female) to be Great Pondhawk. Also, abdomen should be thinner. Otherwise marking seem right. Great Pondhawks seldom found outside of Texas or Oklahoma,in U.S. Typically in Mexico.
