This one is hard to call. I'm still gonna go with SW Speckled, but it is somewhat possible that this could be a Mojave. Depends on if there are bands on the tail or not. But a blown up shot of the head might be enough to determine it. Mojave's have a unique arrangement of large scales on the dorsal surface of the head.
