Turtle magically appeared in my backyard

Last Saturday I found this little guy in my backyard. He's been coming out almost every morning to walk around and do whatever it is that turtles do.

So far I've been letting him roam free because he seems healthy and I don't have any dogs or cats.

What kind of turtle is he? Should I give him any food or water?

I live in Southern California, and figure he must be an escaped/released pet from one of my neighbors.
