Can anyone ID this alocasia? It's not labelled. I tried reverse image searching and most of the results were black velvet, but I'm not sure if it's dark enough to be that?

They look just like my black velvets so I think that’s correct

Definitely a black velvet!

Maybe black velvet?? I have one too!

High probability black velvet but could also be alocasia ninja.  
Black Velvet = velvety, compact, high-contrast silvery veins.  
• Ninja = leathery, larger, darker green with subtler veins.
