It does look like a Three-toed more than anything else (to me, but I'm no expert) based on that photo alone, but really, Ken is absolutely correct: unless you were to do some bloodwork and DNA testing, there really isn't anyway to know for sure.
Over the course of the just the last few years alone I have hand- raised well over 100 Eastern box turtle hatchlings, and, while each and every box turtle (Eastern or otherwise) has its own individual and distinctive markings, there is something about the markings on the turtle shown in the photo that make it appear to be something other than an a straight Eastern.
