ID this pair Falkeri or castexi?

I think the one in the second pic at the bottom is a Falkeri but the one above looks like a very beautiful castexi with a very fine pattern. I think it's the fact that the castexi/flankeri doesn't have the clear spotted pattern as the one below it.

It's very confusing as it has some clear spots around the edge of its disk. http://www.freshwaterstingray.nl/Frames%20Engels/English.html
I've always believed that Flakeri looked like this http://www.amazon-exotic-import.de/Gallerie/Rochen/Seiten/Potamotrygon%20falkneri.htm
It also shows the same pattern on franks site, go into the species 3 of the species area.

They look like P castexi to me too. But if you want to be sure why dont you just ask Frank. He should be able to tell you the best
I think the one i though was a Falkeri is a Potamotrygon Signata P41. If you have the Aqualog on freshwater stingrays Richard Ross book (the holy grail of ray books) look at
pg 123 the pic in the top right looks like your ray. and on Pg147 on the bottom left there is P.Signata P41 that also looks like your ray.
Whatever they are they are great looking fish, i wish you all the best with them, and hope they breed soon.

Frank at first thought they were falkeri but thinks from books there castexi. i have alot of castexi and there eyes and head shape are alot different. But one i got from TFD as falkeri and i would imagine i got taken for another ride by them.
