Can someone please tell me what morph this is?

Looks normal to me. A shot showing the eye would clear that up for certain, but I'm pretty sure I see black pigment.
 
Yes. A normal is simply any corn that is not displaying any color or pattern mutations. Some prefer "classic," wild-type, or there was another name someone came up with recently I liked and can't think of it now!

Original ;)
 
They are also sometimes called Carolina corns. No idea why...the wild type is (mostly) the same regardless of what state they are in.
 
Towards the NC coast, a wild corn looks vastly different than the ones here in the mountains. Northern Florida to southern (Miami) is a big difference also. In the western part of their range, they are typically more gray from what I've seen herping and online. Not so uniformly that anyone can tell what state one is from by a photo, but corns in the wild vary a ton in appearance from place to place.
 
I was looking at some corn snake photos and this guy looks a lot like a buckskin okeetee. Could that be what he is?
 
I think buckskins look darker (I could be wrong, I'm new at this). I'm 99% sure that's just a classic.
That's a very pretty snake. :)
 
This snake will change color a LOT as it ages. It will turn all sorts of orange and reds and yellows.

What makes an okeetee an okeetee is THICK black borders to the saddle markings. This snake has completely normal saddle borders.
 
Over here they sometimes label normals as red corn snakes. With all the morphs out there, the local shop I go to said that normals are getting hard to come by these days.

Here in the US they are plentiful. I think that most new breeders use Normals since they are inexpensive. You can get a Normal from a breeder for about $20. Perhaps in Japan people are breeding the more expensive morphs, I can see that happening where Normals are now in demand!

That is a beautiful snake. I like 'Normals'.

I totally agree. I felt weird when I first got into the hobby, like I should be coveting the expensive morphs more, but Normals are amazing to me! Now, I do want a really bright Okeetee, and wouldn't kick any morph out of my house if a rescue presents itself, but I still love the Normals. I hate that chain pet stores call them "Fancy" corns just to stick a big price tag on them, but I see that they call all morphs "Fancy" since they have no clue what they are!
