I agree You have a male Testudo hermanni hercegovinensis.

Looks like you might be getting a new tortoise after all

Do you feed him any pink or red coloured pellets?

Before hibernation he was fed a 50-50 pellet weed mix with chopped toms in sometimes but since coming out just weeds, could it be dandelion? He found a few in the garden and ate his way through a bit more than I would have liked?
I've just been thorough and cleaned him cant really see pink, maybe some lighter shades but no pink really
