Turtle in old gharial exhibit

Does anyone know what turtle species this is? As of October 2012 there are still not gharials in the gharial exhibit, but rather Johnston's crocodiles.

      it is a Batagur borneoensis, commonly referred to as the painted terrapin (you can probably tell why!). It was formerly in the genus Callagur.

      Did you go to the old OLD gharial exhibit in Tiger River? Because supposedly that has gharials in it once again.
