I'm almost positive that you're right - there is one other species that looks VERY similar, except that the little segment "ends" are rounded on your guy and pointed on the other species. This info is also on bugguide.net.
Looks good! Check out this link for more identifying characteristics to (hopefully!) confirm it.

Do you think it could possibly be a greenhouse millipede? I added some additional photos to help with size and color
It looks like you have a millipede from Order Polydesmida - flat-backed millipedes. It also seems to be a male, based on the absence of legs at the 7th segment. The animal's pattern and size cannot be discerned from the highly reflective photo, however, so I cannot be more specific about the i.d. Good luck to you!
