Possible Map or Painted turtle?

Not sure what this turtle is. It ended up in our hands because a pet store was going to release it in a nearby creek.

I have more pictures if I need to post them.

Maybe a Red Bellied Turtle (Pseudemys rubriventris)

Bonita,
Deb says it's a Texas Cooter.

To me it looks like a Flordia Red-Belly Turtle.

Agreed. River cooter. I have seen my fair share of them through our rescue.
