Default Red ear slider turtle look alike

I jus purchase a red ear slider lookalike from aqua star, the turtle looks exactly like a red ear slider but does not have the red ears. Can anyone advise me what species is this turtle.

If price is the same, most probably is a mutant

It could possibly be a yellow ear slider, trachemys scripta scripta. Different subspecies from red ear slider.

Here's a pic for reference:

Hi bros, the specimen you 've identified is a res x yellow bellied slider hybrid. The stripes on the side of its year resemble the shape of a yellow belly, bt with slight reddish coloring.
Their care is identical to regular sliders, bt they *might* grow larger than a regular res due to the genes from yellow belly.


Hope this helps
