Is this an Aldabra?

I was at the Birmingham Zoo today and they had a ton of tortoises. It was amazing seeing the different kinds in person. They had a small herd of Aldabras 3 of which were huge and looked much like the Aldabra pics I've seen posted but they had one small one that looked odd. Is it an Aldabra?

That is actually a radiated tortoise.

Really? Even with no radial patterns? Or is it just muddy ? Big guy tho

In relation to scale of the grass it seems not too big. But I have seen some larger radiata. Also the legs and head give it away. You can also see the radiated pattern in the middle of the scutes.

Yeahp legs and head are 100% radiate

It was probably about 12-14 inches It did have a patterened shell that was very dirty. They also had some yellow foots that were a bit bigger than this guy. I thought they were a similiar size to redfoots. Sad thing was they yellow foots enclosure was larger than the one with 3 very large aldabras and the radiated.
