Please ID this slug/snail


I found this guy on my glass early this morning. I only got this one pic of the underside of him. I ran to find my camera and by the time I got back he was gone! I used my cell for this pic.

The top side was like a war helmet. It did not cover the whole snail and it could not possibly hide under his shell. Any ideas?
