It's a painted turtle, not a wood turtle.

I'm sure Bruce is right, but it looks like a painted turtle to me too.
Maybe just called by a different name?

I used to catch and sell 2000 to 2500 painted turtles like that a year, back when it was legal. I also taught classes on Ohio reptiles for the Miami County, Park District and supplied park districts and nature centers with reptiles for classes and exhibits, including painted turles.

These are wood turtles.

They count basking turtles in some studies and trap them in others.
