Is this a habanero?

A friend of mine from work gave me some seeds that I grew this year. He thought the seeds were Red mushroom peppers. The pods are looking more hab like, I'm thinking maybe a red Caribbean? The plant was slow growing and short, maybe 1 1/2 feet . Here are some pics, one of the plant, a half ripe pod that fell off and a green pod still on the plant. The ripe pod that I tried yesterday was red. I only ate a small piece of the flesh. The flavor was mild and sweet, but then got really hot, wasn't expecting that much heat. It was really good. I think would be great for salsas, among many other things.
