Turtle ID Help

A friend sent me these pics of a turtle, asking what it is. I'm not very familiar with this turtle, so I wondered if someone out there could tell me what it is.

Thanks.

PS This is the first time I've tried to post pics, so we'll see if it works.

It's a Wood turtle. Congrats!





EDIT: It's a Central American Wood turtle, Rhinoclemmys pulcherrima manni.

That was my guess, too, but I was unsure. Thanks for the help.

It is Rhinoclemmys puclherimma.
Looks like Rp manni but could also be incisa. Its not either of the other two subspecies.
To determine which subspecies (if these distinctions mean anything to you) check the bridge and plastron.
The bridge is (usually) immaculate in incisa and has blotches in manni.
Incisa is generally flatter too. Manni is more domed.
Usually manni are mor colorful than incisa, but not always.

This one looks like manni but it can be hard to tell.

Thank you for that info. It was very helpful. I was able to put together some care info for my friend! Thanks very much.

It looks like an Ornate Wood Turtle to me.
