Hard to tell just from a pic or two but it looks like a pretty clean BCI to me. Nice bowtie saddling but the head shape and tail blotches look BCI.

No visible BCC influence whatsoever, so I am betting Colombian BCI.

BCI and BCC both occur in columbia. Peru is home to BCC, BCO, and BCL. Patterns and saddles are not reliable methods of determinations. In the case of wild caught or pure stains a scale count is done, but in todays market of mix or cross bred snakes who knows.
