Thought i'd get a reply with that. It's just what he was titled at the pet store.
Be happy to know what he actually is.

Aww, he's lovely. I'm interested too as it baffles me how people can tell the difference...

It looks like a Cooter of some sort.

Definitely a cumberland. The YBS have a thick yellow "S" on the sides of their heads, and usually only a couple of black spots on the plastron (underside shell). The cumberlands have horizontal stripes which usually have a tint of orange to them, and many "apple pip" type markings on the plastron, as seen in this individual.
