Rescue Tortoise- Help with ID

[Baumbach]

Found this tortoise roaming the streets in my neighborhood about to get hit by cars. I think its a Sulcata or desert tortoise. Any help on the ID would be appreciated. I live in northern california where tortoises are not native to this area. Let me know if I need to take different pictures.

legs and bottom look like sulcata. Top shell is dark and looks like a gopher tortoise.

I think it's a gopher tortoise because it doesn't have spikes on its body!

This is a sulcata. Notice how large the front leg spurs are then compare the front legs of the gopher tortoise:

I agree with Yveoone - this is a sulcata - gophers have a nuchal scute, but sulcatas do not.

Could it be a hybrid??
The spurs are small and shell has no pattern. Just curious...
