Vriesea fosteriana "Red Chestnut."
There are quite a few different variations of the fosterianas with colors ranging from green to red to nearly white.

Thanks to both of you! That's definately it. It's funny but the site you posted was one that I searched through hundreds of pictures looking for my bro. I finally got tired and I guess I didn't go far enough -- the record having the pic of mine was #1831! LOL! I guess I should have had the patience to scroll through 1831 pictures instead of several hundred!!!

This was an HD find. I'd never seen one like it at HD before. I thought it was different and really pretty.

Thanks again!!
