Can you identify?

This turtle came from a gross pond that is being drained. He doesn't fit the profile for a map turtle but I don't have any other idea.

Have you compared your turtle to perhaps a Map Turtle species???? I am sooooo not great at id'g, but that is what popped in my peanut first off...

Hopefully someone who is a master at id'g will pop in on this

I have. A false map turtle there faces look the same

Here is the plastron

With a toothbrush try and gently scrub and wash off some of the algae, I think it may actually be a red eared slider. It looks like it may have the "ear" but it is very faded. Also where are you located?

New Jersey here he is again after a little brushing

Not a RES but it looks like a yellow bellied slider, which isn't native but I think they've been introduced there. Someone else that knows more about the northern species will hopefully be able to tell you definitively what it is.

 

[Dreamwallaby]

Even with the rust colored belly?

Looks like a Yellow-bellied Slider, Trachemys scripta scripta. But I'm only slightly familiar with the different Slider subspecies.
