Can't see the head very well, but doesn't look triangular (defined jaw hinges and narrower neck), of a copperhead, rattler, or cottonmouth.
Without that, prolly not venomous (around here, at least).

I think you are all correct however it appeared I ran over his head while backfilling around the Culvert so he was put out of his misery shortly thereafter.

Yeah its hard to distinguish some of the water snakes from cottonmouths especially if you cant see head and/or eyes

hmmmmm ..... just curious why you were 'back-filling the culvert' in the middle of the night ?
