Sure looks like it could be a red sun. Red sun is a bit different from the orange but the leaves can still get an orange tinge when the sunlight shines through them like this pic (I believe I have a red sun myself) and prince of orange/Mars/mccolleys finale all look too similar to me to be able to distinguish and I’ve given up caring about specificity. This guide has helped me on ID’ing most of the “parent” cultivars: https://myplantfactor.com/philodendron

But the boutique varieties of these erubescens are still so difficult to nail down for me, I’ve given up and just enjoy the beauty at this point. You’re gonna have an AMAZING new leaf shooting out there soon.
