    I've looked at this for a couple days now, and still can't decide exactly what it is. Can you possibly get a picture of it's head and plastron, with decent lighting? Pick it up and hold it near a lamp if you need to. If there's red spots then she has a red eared slider.

    Also, the water looks a bit shallow. Does the turtle have a UVB light and proper filtration?
