Lymnaeids and physids are very similar. The difference is the side with the shell opening.
I'm pretty sure is a physid.
There are diagrams in this thread https://www.fishforums.net/threads/freshwater-snail-species-in-the-hobby.424364/
If you lift the snail out of the tank and hold it the way round in the diagrams (point upwards with the shell opening facing you) , if the opening is on the left it's a physid, and on the right it's a lymnaeid.

According to the info in that link, the colour of the snail's body shows through the shell, so they can be any of several colours.
