I got this baby from someone in my neighborhood plant group a few months ago and I know it’s a begonia but I haven’t had much luck figuring out what specific type it is. It’s happy and has put out a handful of new leaves since it’s been in my care but knowing it’s name would be a nice bonus!

Maybe Metallica or multinervia? Begonias in particular are very difficult to identify because there are so many varieties.
