A baby one, of course! This is actually a question asked by a lot of people who stumble upon baby turtles in the wild. Your best bet is to note the color of the shell and face, and the size. Then you can ask someone at a local pet store or check one of the many galleries on the interwebs!
Steve B had this to say:
“This is a cute photo of a Baby Gopher Tortoise. This was shot in Central Florida. Since this picture was taken, the tortoise has grown to about 8 inches in diameter and resides in a hole in the ground nearby our house. “
