There is a mud snake that is red and black (only) that I believe is sometimes referred to as a Clark (Clarke) snake (not sure of spelling). I don't know if it is considered a type of kingsnake or what species of snake it is. They can be found here in Louisiana and I'm sure possibly other states. I'm not really into snakes but this is the one that came to mind when I saw the ? and coloring. I hope this might help.
