well firstly, they are different species and have different habits and traits. The cooter notmally has little yellow etches and marks around the outside of his shell, and they can get kinda big. They YBS likes in places like the chesapeake bay and gets to about 11 inches from what i remember, but i am not sure what either plastron looks like, with that one, the underside of him(plastron) would be the best way to tell
but cooters have red markings on the shell most of the time, which yours doesnt have, i would go with strayking fisher and say its a yellow belly slider, but im not sure

Could be a mixed Turtle, part Cumberland and part RES. Here is a site to view photos of mixed RES and a Yellow Belly and others.
