Red Eared Sliders are the most common aquatic turtles sold in the pet trade. It could also be a Painted Turtle, which is what I'm leaning towards since they often have yellow plastrons (bellies). I'm assuming yours is aquatic, though. If it's not, then there are a lot more possibilities. You might try a search for 'pet turtle species' and compare photos.
