It does look like Cacophis of some kind (crowned snake). Weird thing is the colour... white crowned and dwarf crowned snakes have a band that joins up behind the neck. This looks like a white crowned, but with an orange collar. White crowneds are named as such because their collar is white.

I think the collar is thinner on dwarf crowneds so it doesn't look right for that either.

Golden crowneds are similar in colour but the marking is different because it doesn't join up in the middle. Strange one!

Doesn't look like Furina (naped snakes) to me. Looks like I can see some patterning on the labial scales and the build doesn't look right to me either, but pictures can be misleading...
