Generally it looks like it has the banding pattern of a northern, which also tends to get more "heavy bodied" than copperheads as shown in that pic.  Copperheads tend to have a more defined pattern even with growth, whereas northerns patterns (which is a totally different pattern than a copperheads) blurs out more with growth. My guess is that you have a huge northern right there. Just my .02 cents worth
