Ok, I'll have a stab 1st, then hopefully someone will put me right. I'm going Venezuelan because of double wings on plastron. What I don't understand is why your male has not got a constricted waist.

@domalle @cdmay . Are the forms from the Pantanal wet region more like cherryheads or northerns. (head colors)?

They sure are pretty, or at least that one is. Beautiful!
Very hard to say where they're from though. They appear to be Northerns and likely descendants from the numerous Venezuela, Surinam or Guyana animals in the country now.
One other thing, for being captive raised they all look very natural. Nice job.

My male has a deeply dished plastron but is otherwise very much the same shape as the girls.

The redfoots in the Brazilian Pantanal region are large animals with typically orange and yellow head colors like the northern forms.
They tend to be darker overall with plastron color more like the Bolivian and Paraguayan forms to the south.
