Snake identity

[Spritzer]

If I've done this right heres a pic of a snake we spotted in the sand dunes of Innes National Park last weekend.
We don't know a lot about snakes so have tried to look it up in books etc but still uncertain what type it is.

Not a very good pic I'm afraid but you can just see the beautiful coppery coloured head disappearing off the top of the pic. (Someone has suggested pygmy copperhead??)

Any ideas???

Wow that was quick and unaminous!
It certainly is a beautiful snake.
Thanks for your help guys.

Yellow-faced Whip Snake....why?....because of its slender build, general colour, and particularly the reddish brown flush on the forepart of the body which was the clincher..
