That's a painted turtle.  Looks to be eastern, but it could also be a midland painted or possibly western, or southern.. I'd have to have my hands on it to tell LOL.... And it's VERY easy to tell the difference between a Red-Eared slider and a Painted.
Red-Eared... Trachemys scripta
Painted... Chrysemys picta
And if you want to see more pictures of RES and Painteds, click this link to my entire zoo.... and you'll see.
**TONS of PICS** Okay, it's time for pics of my entire zoo. (Serious dial up WARNING)

Yep... and the coloration of them, too. Painteds are usually black to dark olive green/brown... and red-eareds usually green with tons of yellow.
LOL... cause I'm the turtle lady! I been keepin' turtles for over 12 years!
