Here are some pictures, sorry for the bad quality. I think it is a western pond turtle. It was collected from the northern part of the russian river, California.

No red on his head at all.....I am not that good with herps so I have no idea if a juvi RES even has red?
 
Lets wait for Seth (Viciousfish ), or Coura...they'll know it.
 
Might be a painted slider.
 
I agree, definitely a Western Pond Turtle and like coura said they are not as common as they once were. I'd release him back where you found him as soon as possible. It also might be illegal to keep them in your state.

Lol. Mybad, this picture tricked me, until I looked closer. I thought that the two feet was the head and your skin was the red. I know confusing.
