Belly spotting on urs is promising but i still say P. Reticulatum for now...pictured above is a sub adult/adult corruscans.

Have a gander at this lol...apparently theres also wild hybrids between the tsn species themselves. "Pintado" is p. Corruscans and "cachara" is p. Faciatum. Very interesting. U may have a hybrid.

Hybrid may explain y the one has a kinda deformed face...hmmm...wonder if these were man made or not. Ive seen plenty of misshapen heads like that in farm bred faciatum, owned quite a few aswell.

Corruscans and reticulatum are commercially hybridized as well but I haven't been able to find pics.
