Chelydra serpentina
Saw this in my back yard. Not sure what kind of turtle it is. It was pretty large. Maybe a foot and a half long.

Hi there. I've gone ahead and have added the scientific name for you. :-)
Kyle is correct and when you get a moment to edit the spotting and add information to it, please move the classification from Amphibians to Reptiles. Thanks and nice spotting!
Appears to be a Common Snapping Turtle (Chelydra serpentina).
