Hard to tell from that photo.
Do you have plastron and head shots? They would help. As would a side view.

Here is the plastron but it isn't clear. Only thing clear is its tail - it's a boy!

Hahaha! Oh come on Yelloweyed, a little better photo?
Looking like a common musk turtle. But the streaks on the carapace might indicate an S. minor of some sort.
BTW, your nails have nice color but could use some resurfacing....

Ok, I'm thinking common musk turtle, Sternotherus odoratus. Some individuals (nice ones!) will have streaks on their carapace.
