I'm not sure if this is an ornate box turtle or a three toed box turtle. It was a baby that escaped the mower!

It's definitely not an ornate box turtle, so by default... :-)

Thank you, I think it's a three toed but it didn't have the facial color

There is an image comparing the undersides of the two species

Maybe Ornate but turn it over and look at this http://www.herpsofarkansas.com/Turtle/TerrapeneCarolina#Gallery
