I would take care like you, not easy to be sure sometimes... It looks like if he has a part of old skin on the head? ...the pattern is very close to multicinctus, with the white bands more aparted on the anterior portion of the body. The tail seems very triangular in shape and/or emaciated...it would be interesting to see the dorsal scale row.
Any advises from someone else?

Tim, can you zoom and crop the mid-dorsal section in the last picture? Should be rather easy to tell then, no?

In all the pictures i find that the shape of the body is really close to Bungarus by its regularity. Even a snake in poor physical condition wouldn't have this triangular shape so regular in all the lenght of his body.
