I do have some greaca greaca that look similar but unless you know exactly where they have come from you will struggle to get a 100% accurate ID.
Gorden, I use the markings on the plastron to say whether ibera or graeca. In over 36yrs they are nealy always sploggy markings :0) where as graecas are nearly always black/grey all over.
Maybe I am wrong, but I have kept both species in the past, and used that as a guide along with carapace colour.
