The turtle's underbelly in scientific terms is called a plastron.
It could be a painted turtle. The Western Painted Turtle has no red stripes that I could see, but has a red pattern at the edge of the shell and the bottom of the shell(plastron) is pink with a large, dark design extending to the edges. Hope this helps
The shell of a turtle (arapace is the dorsal shell, plastron is the ventral shell)
The plastron is the part of the shell that faces the ground; it is the part protecting the turtle's abdomen. In the case of a yellow-bellied turtle such as a slider or cooter (as a hobbyist, I've had 2 MS yellow-bellied cooters in my life and I think they're great turtles), the plastron is in fact its yellow belly. Hope it helps.
