Once again, Tom, I'm loving the fact that you spotted this cool creature in NY. :-)

injica, thanks for the ID suggestion! I think this might be the close relative Brown-lipped Snail. It has a dark brown rim over the opening. They seem to be variable in the pattern. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grove_snail
