Another, What Have I got Here?

So, i got this Brown Jalapeno that doesn't look so brown. 
I was hoping someone could take a guess as to what it is,  It's has a nice heat level for me, hotter then a jalapeno and maybe not as hot as a serrano .
the pepper in the pic is the first ripe one on the plant, so it might be a runt.
I know a lot of peppers look like this but I really like to know what it is for future reference. And yes Ill be saving seeds from it but it's growing in a small garden with 6 or 7 other variety's so next years might not be true.

It has an oval cross section

And not the best pic of the plant, I could try for a better one if it would help.

It could potentially be a cross.  The chlorophyll retainer allele that makes red peppers brown is recessive, so it would often not show in the first generation of a hybrid.  Maybe it's Brown Jalap x ?
 
Thanks CD, I appreciate you response. These really aren't anywhere near the size of a jalapeno. But Being a novice at the pepper game I'll do some research into what you said.
I guess it could be almost anything, but with the oval cross section I thought it would narrow it down some.  I guess I'll have to make plans to isolate some and save the seeds for the future.
 
FWIW here's an underripe one next to some unripe Brown Jalapenos

How many members have we gotten due to people getting duped on Reaper seeds?

I'm too lazy to figure that out but I see it as a blessing in disguise. Whatever that plant turns out to be, you can trust that you'll get what you paid/traded for from the good people here.

Could be chile arbol, also an annuum. 
 
Right size and shape.

Thanks for that Willard, I'll look them up.

Thanks

I think it's arbol, a very common chile in México and Mexican cuisine.
 
Used dried mostly.
 
Thanks again Willard.
Looking around online Every arbol seem to be smaller then mine. these are 3"-3.5" (7.6cm-9cm)  and about 3/4" (1.9cm) in width.
Is that possible? do you ever see them that large?

@ Dan.We know you want to get to get to the bottom of this but we don't know and we're guessing. Deep breath! We may never know. The question I have is the one pic you posted of the cut pod. As more ripen and are picked please report back if they're round as oval is not a common pod shape IMO.
 
@ Willard. In this thread I've seen/read the following:

Chiles de arbol seco (dry) in the market.
SmokenFire said:
D'arbol?  Or jala x darbol?
I've always used this (Usually dropping Chile)> Chile de árbol to define this pepper. I see that term, de arbol, in above but also:
 
chile arbol
D'arbol
darbol
 
HELP! TIA!

Thanks NECM, Sorry if I was being a pest, I like a good mystery but after awhile I like to find the answer, but I understand and will move on.
And I'll report back to this thread when they really start ripening  and I have a number to look at.
Thanks for everyone's help, I do appreciate it.

Just to follow up, they are all the same oval shape except for one thats more round.
