It could be ... as those babies don't develop those recognizable shell
characters until adulthood.  Polygyrids also develop thickened aperatural
lips usually when adult, so if the little one has a thin, fragile lip, it's
probably a juvenile........look at the shell sculpture and
periostracum.....If they match....you have a match...
