Well I think it is. It has the same colors and Shell looks about the same. I have pictures of mine up on my post from earlier about mines mouth. If you want to check them out.

Some of the most important factors are that they are not used to the desert, they are used to have water and food 24/7, and would not make it out there..
Also it may carry bacteria or virus that can be spreaded out there in the wild, and would be catastrofic for desert wid tortoises population. Your tortoise looks healthy , but you never know from inside...
And many other reasons.
Its just not right to let him free, for his own good and the wild tortoises.
Maybe try to keep both separate until you find the owner?...
What sex its your sulcata?
She is a Female, we named her Spielberg before we knew he was a she. Can a Sulcata and Desert Tortoise mate? Or are you asking because they will fight?
