Yes, heliconias and bromeliads have too many hybrids, it is extremely difficult to ID them correctely.
I used that site as a reference, however, there are such finite differences between this specimen and another that I wasn't sure which cultivar it was.
You can find a lot of information about heliconias in this site: http://www.heliconiasocietypr.org/heliconia_cultivars1.htm
