Common Map Turtle is the most likely choice

You are right. I posted the wrong picture. I'm currently trying to get this little guy ID'd. If it IS a cooter, it would be awesome because they are endangered around here. Thank you for the post, I will remove this photo!

definitely not a red-eared slider, looks like a young cooter or map turtle
