Is this actually a monstera obliqua Peru?

Photo by Planta (just downloaded today) said it was a monkey mask, I just received it and planted it yesterday, it already looks healthier than yesterday; this is one of my dream plants to own but I’m also not sure if I got scammed.

omg that’s also a dream plant of mine. the obliqua supposedly has like paper thin almost translucent leaves. based on the hole-to-leaf ratio, i’d bet that’s a obliqua!!

I believe the obliqua fenestrations go to the edge but adansonii doesn’t. I would say though that if they sold it as “monkey mask” it’s not the technical name and could go either way!
