Woot! We have a winner to the first guesser! 15 steem to you. You are correct, it is A Chrysemys picta bellii, the Western Painted Turtle. However, it was a hatchling, probably 3 inches long. I realize now there actually is something for scale in the plastron-side picture; if you look closely, there's a partial cigarette butt to the right of it.
