Our neighbors: Cobra?

Another reptile at Sungeh Buloh.  The focus isn’t that great, but you get the idea.  This was snapped during a series of school outings, a week during which the class kept going to the nature reserve four days in a row.  This snake (or one closely resembling it) was spotted in the same shelter three of those days, but not in the same spot.  Evidently it likes to hang out in this structure, and isn’t particularly fearful of hordes of visiting kids.  A teacher said it was a cobra, but I can’t tell from the picture.  It looks as if it might have pit-viperish indentations on the head.  If you have an opinion on its identity, please comment!
