Species ID?

So I have taken this photo at Omaha Zoo Lied Jungle, and for some reason I couldn't find anywhere on their Facebook page or any forum about this turtle species. So anyone have any clue what speices of turtle this is? Thank you
It looks absolutely massive, much more sturdy than the unifilis I know and pretty much like expansa.
 
@lintworm it was! It was one of the turtles in the Lied jungle at Omaha Zoo. I forgot which exhibit it shared with though I think one of the primates not 100% sure. I looked up the species and sure enough they are one of the largest river turtles in south america. However, the pictures I found seem to only focus on young ones instead of fully grown adult ones which is just annoying lmao.
 
I'm pretty sure its an expansa. There are unifilis in the exhibit as well, but this is a lot larger than those
