Both this individual and an uniform variant (http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/869555) were found during the same night road-cruising. Thanks to Dr. Brad Hollingsworth for having me on this trip and providing locality data.

A spotted night snake ate this variable sandsnake (probably because they spent the night together in the same trap). When we handled the night snake, it decided to regurgitate its recently eaten prey.
Dark saddles on pinkish background, very shiny smooth scales. Yellow nose/face. I never saw the irises and couldn't get a photograph of the face; it was always obscured by foliage. Found buried in a mound of composted very old horse manure (burrower). Tiny--~8 inches, young? Shiny scales suggested Lampropeltis/kingsnake but color pattern more consistent with Rhinocheilus. Herpetologists please comment.
