ID help please!

App says this is a blushing philodendron but I'm not sure it is. It is 100% a self-heading Philodendron. Leaves come in pinkish orange and mature to dark green with a lovely thin pink leaf edge. The leaf 'spears' (the bits that produce the new leaves) are bright red and pretty much stay that way. There are smaller parts of the plant that are just green at the base but the largest portion has maintained the lovely reddish coloring since I got it last year. It was in a 'mystery' pack of plants so it didn't come with any ID. I adore it, whatever it is, but I'd love to know what I have. You can find pics of it from the time it was a baby until now on its page :) Thanks!

@PhoenixDragon88 it looks to be either a Red Congo or Imperial Red Philo to me.
I had sort of narrowed it down to those two as well but I'm not positive what the distinguishing factors are.
Here are some other pictures of it when it was smaller in case it helps
