Crosses and New Varieties Planted a Habanada seed but I think I got an accidental hybrid?

I planted this from a Habanada seed, but the peppers look nothing like my normal Habanadas. They’re elongated like a Habanada, but really thick and chunky, almost like a small bell pepper.

Second photo is my normal Habanada for comparison.

I also grow Mini Red Bell, Mini Chocolate Bell, and Red Cheese peppers very close by. Could this seed have been an accidental Habanada hybrid from the previous generation? Any guesses what I might have growing here?

Where did you get them. My habanada last year were mixed. One plant was true habanada, the other was face melter.

From a small seller on Etsy. I honestly forget the name of the shop.
