Unknown Nepenthes Hybrid

I got this as a cutting last winter. All I know is that it's a hybrid and it came from Roger Williams Botanical Garden in Providence, RI. May still be too small for an i.d. but, here it is anyway :

looks like it has some hamata genes
 
Well, it DOES have lid hairs. Hamata young have them. Any others? I do agree with CPSammich in that it may have hamata in it.
 
It's definitely not a ventrata. The pitcher looks nothing like my other small ventrata pitchers.
 
could be a young N. ventricosa.. only other possibility

Edit.. leaf photos would help

Edit edit... young N. ventricosa usually don't have that big bulbous base, and the fringed wings though so

Edit edit edit hence I went with N. ventrata which I am 99.99% certain
 
looks like my ventrata basal pitchers currently....hairy lid and all.
