It's a different leaf shape than Begonia maculata Silver Spot

Do you know what variety of polka dot begonia it is.

It's the same I believe. I'm not a begonia expert by any means. And just differt lighting can effect the same varieties appearance. I just recognize the silver spot as having that angular long angel wing type leaf
