Identifying this tortoise, help!

Hey guys so my friend has this tortoise, and I'm looking to take ownership, but I have no idea what species this is, maybe it's just me, any ideas would be nice she says she found it, and I live in Las Vegas nv. But it doesn't look like the desert tortoise I've seen around here.

Sure looks like a Mojave Dessert Tortoise from that angle. Pictures showing his face/head and legs would help. If it is there is some good information on this site regarding ownership legalities and care.

It does look to possibly be a dessert tortoise.
