Description of specimen

Turtle, shell is about 9" length. It won't poke it's head out much now and it's shell is kind of muddy, so hard to see, but there are yellow stripes at the side of it's head and it appears to be a red eared slider such as we had here last year at the same time.

We have put it in a box, in the shade, with some leaves and water.
