Cute little bugger'. Yellow lines on face and neck. There were several swimming in a pond with Coy fish. Some had red lines on face with yellow lines.

Notes:

After looking on line I found that this is the most common turtle of the region. I was feeding Coy fish and turtles came to get fed as well.
