I'm with Matt. It's definately a White lipped Mud. Its lips are white but the rest of the head are not, where as a DiamondBack has an all white head. Check out the white head with cow-like black patches on the DiamondBack.

This White lip has a more brown lip area with no spots but you can see the similarities in shell shape and head/nose/mouth shape.

The white and black mouth could easily make it look like a Diamond Back but it's not.
