Turtle atop grate covering the Muddy River supply pipe in Jamaica Pond

See it larger.

The other day a turtle lazed atop the grate that covers the start of the Muddy River: The siphon pipe at the northern end of Jamaica Pond that sends water under Perkins Street to Wards Pond.

Trachemys scripta elegans.

I wonder if anyone's examined the effect of the establishment of this species in our area on the native eastern painted turtle (Chrysemys picta picta) population.

What percentage do think are red eared sliders versus native painter turtles?
