Is this a H. carpintis or something else?

The flowerline across the body and the red maroon color in the fins makes me believe for sure it's a hybrid.

To me that looks to be an unfaded red texas. It may or may not fade. For the money you have a nice male since its tube looks sharp and pointed. I've had pure ones and sometimes without knowing the genetics and it was sold as a hybrid its safe to say it is one. Looks to me possibly a F2 RT since pearls and it bleeds more red.

How sure are you on the sex? The person I got it from said they thought it was a female, but I keep getting varied opinions.

Nice sneaky edit.
That picture was sent to my by the person I bought it from. Ha
LMAO!!!! I knew it was a guy holding it, but I wasn't sure who might have thought "hairy arms" could be offensive lolol you know how things get on the internetz. :P

FTR, I knew that wasn't YOU, obviously. ;)

Haha I figured! That's why I was confused about the edit. Anyone who gets grumpy over an obviously male arm being referred to as hairy needs to take some deep breaths. :P

I've seen people act wayyyyy weirder on the internet. Don't over-estimate this idiot-race we belong to. SOMEONE, somewhere would find it offensive.
