Your black tail and the one in the OP both have the double diamond pattern. Colors are a little different, but other rattlesnakes of the same species can vary in color too. Mojave has a single diamond or more oval pattern, similar to prairie rattler. The double "snake eyes" pattern is black tail.

I thought it was a pretty snake, just glad my boy and I didn't run across one while scouting.
