Turtle on the surf line!

While fishing for perch I came along this little turtle on the beach. Don't know if is a sea turtle or a fresh water turtle. Could anybody here help identify this turtle?

Alien

Crazy! Doesn’t look like a sea turtle to me.

There must be someone on this forum who likes turtles and can help you identify it. 

Someones pet freed into the ocean by some kook.

Sea turtles have different legs that look more like flippers.

I'd say fresh water

Good bait?

That tail is long definitely not a redear slider what city did you find it? It’s super young which makes me think it’s not a pet people usually dump them when the get out of the cute stage. Did you call DFW to report it?

That’s a native western pond turtle! California’s only native turtle. In Marin females will sometimes lay eggs on the beach side but freshwater is nearby (1/4 mi). Where were you? You can PM me if you don’t want to give up your  spot!

I was fishing Zmudawski which is near the Pajoro River I was a few mile south of the mouth. I was thinking a bird picked it up and dropped it. Or may be it got  washed out from the mouth.
But i'm not sure if the mouth is open or not...sure thing though, I was surprise! What do they eat?
