Bad pic, let me know if you need a better one. I got it in a trade on another site, I always thought tepin were more round. These are larger and more roundish than my pequins though.
Is this a tepin?

It does look long and elongated but it could be an off variety or an accidental hybrid. Taste it now and describe the taste
'Tepin' on the left, Piquin in the right. I just took a nibble from the flesh and the tepin was significantly hotter, and had a fruity/floral flavor that the piquin didn't have. I couldn't find any pics of tepins quite this long, but i think the trader was from Arizona, so should know tepins. This was the only seed to sprout out of 10 and was a very tiny and slow growing plant.

Id put this also as a Thai ornamental. It looks very similar to mine except mine is way thinner. Id say its a hybrid. If you tell us the site I think we could confirmhappytinker said:

I traded seeds for seeds, didn't purchase. Also got a "ghost pepper" from the person that looks correct, probably a red bhut.
Im checking if they have any other Thai ornamentals that couldve crossed
