CMP 21 Dec 2020 @Onychorhynchus coronatus We were fairly deep into the woods, maybe 400m away from the road. However, once we were there he was fairly easy to spot.

CheeseChameleon1945 21 Dec 2020 @Ituri I agree, any Idea which one? My minds thinking the Nominate, Terrapene carolina carolina.
CMP 21 Dec 2020 @Ituri @CheeseChameleon2007 it looks more like Terrapene carolina Putnami to me. My bad, another misidentification

CheeseChameleon1945 21 Dec 2020 @ChunkyMunky pengopus Yes, thank you for that correct Subspecies identification.
Ituri 21 Dec 2020 Umm..putnami is extinct...only know from the fossil record. According to the geographic range, it should be nominate Terrapene carolina carolina in Illinois.
