I can tell you what I would call them after I ran upon them.
Dead ones.
I hate snakes more than Indiana Jones.
But from looking at the shape of their heads, I'm voting for corn snake. They have a lot of different color palettes, which do often resemble copperhead colors, but the shape of their head is more pointy than a copperhead.
corn snake:
A copperhead head is shaped more like an arrowhead.

Thanks for the link water monkey this was the second paragraph, and I came across these snakes on the river bank.
The water snake is found in and around almost any water body or wetland in NY state. As an adult, it is a stout animal typically dark brown to black with lighter-colored bands and splotches along its length. This is most pronounced in young individuals (adults may appear solid black). It is the only large (up to 42 inches) water snake in our range. This species is frequently called or mistaken for a cottonmouth (water moccasin); this latter species is a large venomous snake that does not occur within our state borders. This confusion is understandable as our water snake is certainly an aggressive species with a nasty disposition and it does bear a superficial resemblance to the cottonmouth.
