I think this looks more like Philomycus carolinianus than P. flexuolaris. Rows of spots lining a central band would be my reasoning for this. I iknow that P. flexuolaris can be highly variable and have some patterns that can be confused with P. carolinianus but I feel pretty confident in this case. The dark spots seem fairly prominent.
