Need ID on this pepper...

Complete pepper/chili noob here! This is actually my first post lol! I was given this pepper plant as a gift from my mother and was told it was a ghost chili/bhut jolokia plant but I am starting to have my doubts after doing some research.... Any ID on this pepper as to what type it is would be great! I tasted one of the orange fruits and it was madly spicy...definitely more heat than habaneros. Thank you. I have a dollar bill held up in the one picture for a size comparison.

I'd say it's a Datil by the size, shape, texture, and color. They are just about Habanero heat, but sometimes the upper end of their scale is at the Habanero upper end, thus they can be hotter than some Habaneros.

[background=rgb(255, 244, 228)]+1 on the ID of Datil. You have a great flavorful pepper, makes a super good pepper jelly with most any fruit.[/background]
