    Help identify snake in Bolivia

    Having rediscovered my interest for snakes lately it ocurred to me that maybe someone here could help me identify a snake I saw a few years ago in Bolivia. The picture was taken in the pampas of Madidi national park. The snake was very fast and I was trying to get a photo of it so I couldn't really see if it had the head of a viper or not. Sorry for the less than stellar quality of the photo
