I'm hoping I'm correct in labeling this an Imperial Red?

With the shape of the leaves I’m leaning towards a rojo congo

Imperial red usually has pretty dark green leaves, slightly narrow., and look kinda patent. The congo rojo usually has slightly wider, and lighter green, but still with the red stalks. I feel your pain, there are several large philos that look really similar, and its frustrating
