He lives in Missouri. The species doesn’t exist there. I’d say its just an eastern, as they sometimes have that pattern, and there isn’t red on the sides.

Hey Tim, I actually live in Mississippi(MS). I think you’re right about it being an eastern garter, but I can’t confirm North MS as being within their range.
