Looks like a loggerhead musk - Sternotherus minor minor

Thanks Phil.

Are they common?

They're fairly common. But, I (and a lot of other keepers) don't like keeping them because of their musk glands. Pretty gamey turtle.

That is a pretty cool looking turtle. I can tell it is a musk but beyond that I was lost. I would not mind owning one, though his face is not all the fun to look at.
