What is this bromeliad !?!? ID Please!

Bradenton Beach, FL(Zone 10a)

This is a big, Aechmea looking bromeliad...the leaves are really wide, with the strangest speckling...no sharp spines on the leaves...it almost looks plastic. I've never seen anything with this color before, has anyone else? No pups or flower present yet. What is it ? :)

The coloring looks like a vriesa, but I am not a professional.

You got it! It's a vriesea; "Red Chestnut". When I googled Vriesea the image search showed it right away. Awesome!!! Thanks!!!!
