plant Need help identifing my chili plant

I received some chiles from a friend at work and they resemble the piquin chile.... So in february I started my plant from seed... Any help would be apreciated in identifing my plant... As of right now its called chile de memo.. named after my friend who gave me the chilis
 
We could also be looking at an F1 hybrid too... Is pubescence a dominate trait?

I can't think of many hairy Annuums...

Doesn't look like a serrano to me.

Can you describe the pod shape at maturity?

leaf shape and nodes do look annum-ish, and yet the hair makes me think pubescent.

If you look closely at the flowers, there is a touch of gold near the tips... Would like to see another picture under different lighting...

The plant holds the peppers differently than the goats weed as well.

Goats weed points them up, these dangle.

Heres another flower pic, taken today...
 
My Goats Weed last year showed exactly the same like the plant on your photo. Can't reach my pictures of it however, I'm currently moving to another home. I can make a picture of my Goats Weed this year for comparison if you like.
 
I have no idea what type it is, i got it's grandparent plant from a bag of fresh pods my friend gave to me like 6 years ago. I'm sure he got his plant from some pods someone gave him or from those small bags or dried piquins sold in the mexican spice section of the supermarket. I grew up eating piquins and my mom called piquins and tepins both piquins, i know the difference now. Growing up I remember thoughout the years we had different piquin plants all with slight different pod shapes and we called them all just piquins.

Here's an update photo of my mysterious chile plant... By the looks of it im leaning more towards the Piquin strain... In the years past i grew my first piquin from the mexican spice pack.... I tried it again this year and not a single seed sprouted.....
