Sub species are pretty well defined.
BCC dorsal saddles to the vent 15-21
dorsal scales 81-95
ventral scales 234-243
BCI dorsal saddles 22-30
dorsal scales 55-79
ventral scales 225-259
Of course if it is a cross between the two, we may never know. Coloring is not a relaible way to determe subspecies, although it is used to ID morphs.

Colombians scale counts makle them look like bccs. The head spear doesn't look red to me, more like a brownish grey.

Colombian is a locality not a subspecies. You need to do some research.

Just where did I say a Colombian is a subspecies? You need to read more carefully. You were also rude. This is a chronic problem around here. There no reason for it. There no reason to insult each other here. You may disagree, and that is what a forum is for, but there is no reason to stoop to that level.
