Is this a racer of some kind?

looks like a juvenile watersnake to me. did you find it near water? they are usually light brown/gray with a white underside.

I have seen a few of these south of Beatrice. Never heard of a brown snake. They always slip thru the long grass before I can get a hold of them to check'em out.
