Pseudemys gorzugi
They have a red-olive carapace with black swirls on it. The plastron is mostly plain, and the skin is black and yellow with an orangish tint. The last photo shows a very unusual individual that is heavily speckled.
Found in the Rio Grande drainage in Texas, New Mexico, and Mexico.

What a gorgeous turtle. I only have one turtle spot. I must get some more.
