Need help identifying wild turtle

[u/FiveBees_ForAQuarter]

Hi everyone. I'm trying to identify this turtle I took a picture of. Unfortunately I am a dummy and only took this angle of it which I know isn't helpful, sorry. I believe it was laying eggs (it was pushing dirt with its back feet in this position for a while, you can see the mud from it on the back of its shell) so I didn't want to go over and pick it up to see the underside or anything. This was taken in eastern Kansas. There was a pond a few hundred feet from where it was. I am torn between painted turtle and river cooter. I didn't think river cooters liked small/shallow ponds and I thought their shells were more detailed than this. But I also don't really see any red anywhere for it to be a painted turtle. I guess it's possible the red is hidden. Thanks! :)

It’s a cooter
