Eastern or Western Painted?

My guess is eastern which is why it was recently rehomed to my place. The coloring is not like that of a western IMO.
What is your take on it.

I've never seen a western, but that is the spittin image of the easterns that I've seen here in Michigan.

It's an eastern.

Many Southern paints look similar, but will have a dorsal stripe.

Westerns and midlands will have color on the plastron.

Not a Western.
I have one in my rescue pond now and they have distinct markings on their plastron.

I'm guessing it's a Female Southern Painted Turtle.
In your post "Cute Little Guy" you can see the Red dorsal stripe Critterfarm was talking about. What makes me think it's a female is the body shape, the thickness of the limbs and the nails. Females tend to be taller, wider, thicker, and have shorter thicker nails.
Just a guess though. If the nails get ridiculously long then it's definitely a male. The males use the long claws to seduce the females and the females have big thick legs with big back flippers to dig their nests with. The females also have shorter wider tails with the vent closer to the shells then the males do.

Here is another top view shot.

Definitely an Eastern Painted.

I agree eastern.... Man you have that shell shining Steve looks like your doing a good job with it..

Yep. This time of year all mine are covered with moss and algae lol.
