Slim Snake ID. South West Turkey (1 Viewer)

I realise that this isn't a run of the mill ID request and I'm maybe asking a lot, but based on location, build, size and general colouration, is this snake most likely to be a Dahl's whipsnake.

The eagle was in the hills in south west Turkey a few miles north east of Lake Koycegiz a couple of weeks ago.

Seems the best candidate to me, based on general colour, length and very slim build. Great STE images!
