This turtle I saw back in 2011 at Khao Yai (Nakhorn Ratchasima), was much bigger than the other specimen I saw See Here. It is possible that it is not the sub-species Malayemys macrocephala and is in fact, the nominate sub-species Malayemys subtrijuda as it distinctly has an additional stripe on the eye. I need an expert to know for sure. For now, I will keep it as the previous specimen as before, due to the location I saw it. Any advance on species?
Here you can see the additional stripe next to the eye.
Now he's retreated back into the depths ...well, not quite yet ...
