That looks like it may be an escaped gulf coast box turtle that someone was keeping as a pet. I'm sure it is possible that it may be an Eastern. But, that type of coloration is very standard in male gulf coast box turtles. I have two that look like that...one is almost indistinguishable from yours.

Am I correct in assuming that he was collected in Kentucky?
