It's an adult male red eared slider, old in age and showing the lack of melanism. I've caught about 300 of these guys this summer doing my research; if you look really closely at their heads, you can see the faint trace of the outline of their "ear". Old males also lose all their shell striping and spotting, and just become darker and more drab.
