At first I thought it was just M. candida, but have a look here.

Definitely not M. candida or humboldtii, but could well be supertexta or one of its closely related forms.

I have several plants of Supertexta and yours looks about right, the only difference my plants appear to have
tighter spination? with so many clones in the hobby you will get a certain ammount of variation.
Also different growing conditions come into play. Hope this helps.
