Default Testudo hermanni hermanni?

Hello everyone, i always had problems in identifying this male. As you can see he has an asimmetry in the plastron so i can't understand if it's t.h.h. or t.h.b.. That said, shape seems to suggest t.h.h. but the black seems reduced

Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot

Hello id say thats neither. Definitely not Western and I don't think Eastern. I suspect (but im no expert) its a Dalmatian / herc.. Hermanns.
(has the "ski slope" pectoral seam)
See what others think x

I'm inclined to agree with Lynn as I can't see any inguinal scutes either.

I know hercs can have inguinals, sometimes squat ones, but these look like my THBs' inguinals. None of my hercs have them or just one very short squat one. It could well be a hybrid.
