This rare exemplar has born on the sea conservation center, they keep it on the center as well as other turtles that have very low possibilities to success in the wild.

Thanks Matthew, a terrible photo made by my phone but a very cool turtle
Cool
Thanks Albert, I think you are right at the center they have both kind of turtles (green & Hawk), at this moment they just have 1 albino but they had almost 4 of them, the Hawk seems to have a simetrical pattern and also a "Hawk" peak like
This looks more like a Green Turtle - Chelonia mydas and I have also seen other Spotting listing it as Green Turtle from the same location.
