Its definately not a hermanns, look at the colouration on the plastron, this isn't uniform to a hermanns, again the colouration on the plastron and also scale formation, all point to a med spur (testudo graeca) as piglet has already said.

Its not a hermanns thats for sure. Piglet is a breeder of hermanns and iberas plus others. So his id is 100%.
