Agkistrodon contortrix, or Copperhead.
I played with this a little more, but a Prairie Rattlesnake is also known as a "Western" rattlesnake...which appears to be a little different from a "Western Diamondback".
So, Crotalus Viridis (Prairie or Western Rattlesnake) vs my previous guess of Crotalus Atrox (Western Diamondback Rattlesnake). But technically, both of those are different species in the same genius. <span style="text-decoration: line-through;"]I played with the other genius in the Viperidae family (and yes, this is all from Wikipedia), and didn't see any that fit the picture and your description.
Edit: Ok...Sean found a different genius that fits....
Sean's right. It was a copperhead. Here's another better shot of a little guy under some rusty tin.

Haha yup! That's exactly what it is. I've actually never seen one of these either, so I thought maybe, but I guess filaments will always look like filaments haha.
