I found this yesterday and took a picture without a size reference. It was a young snake about 7-8 inches long. The head was about an inch wide. I live in Massachusetts. I was thinking milksnake. Thoughts? Thank you.

That makes more sense since we have wetlands in the back yard with a little bit of open water. Thanks.

It does have a pit virperish look lol, but I'd be willing to guess a water snake as well since I can't really see the pupils.
 
That's a watersnake, 100%. Natrix genus. I'd wager it's a northern.
 
Ive heard you can distinguish water snakes from moccasins by how they swim in the water as well. Of course thats here in Fl, no moccasins in mass. Just canebreaks and copperheads right?
