Family Uropeltidae. Most likely an Uropeltis.

Arvind Singh

It looks some species of Uropeltis of family Uropeltidae

Check it as Uropeltis rubromaculatus

Sandun J. Perera

May be a Rhinophis, still in the family Uropeltidae

Andrew Somerville Gardner

It could be Uropeltis rubrolineata. However is hard to give a definitive identification from the rather blurry photo! The geographic location on the Western Ghats may help narrow down the species.

Yatin Kalki

If you have the location, this paper would help to narrow down the possible species it could be: Conference Paper Shieldtail snakes (Reptilia: Uropeltidae) – the Darwin’s fin...
