Centipede (Scolopendromorpha?)  - Scolopocryptops nigridius

Centipede (Scolopendromorpha?) - Scolopocryptops nigridius
Tuscaloosa , Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, USA
October 30, 2012
Size: 1-2 inches
I found it under a rotting log. My first thought was that it was scolopocryptops, but the darker body, redder head, and slight banding on the legs led me to think otherwise. the other possibility I thought of was that ti could be a young Hemiscolopendra, however, I'm really not sure. I was hoping someone could give me some help here.

By the way, I still have the specimen if someone needs more pictures for an ID.
