It is a bit difficult to tell from the picture but I think this is a centipede rather than a millipede, there appears to be only one pair of legs on each segment, while millipedes have two pairs of legs on most segments. There is not enough detail to ID the centipede

@SimoneC - Thanks for the note - Looks like it didn't want to show the whole original wide image. Have fixed that with a better fit crop. Has a red head.
