I'm no Pinguicula expert but it doesn't look like P. cyclosecta to me. The leaves on P. cyclosecta lay flat to the ground. The coloration in jimscott's photograph is typical from photos of other plants of the same species in cultivation.
It depends on when you got the plant from Jimscott. I had sent him some replacement pullings from the P. cyclosecta in my collection. The ones he had previously did not survive when he moved to a different residence. I had obtained my plant from Peter (pingman).

LOL! There's too many variables in there. The one I pictures indeed came from Warren (earlier this year?) I can't tell for sure, but the perimeter has that same look about it, which reminds me of 1713 & 1717 types. Maybe try a leaf cutting and give it less intense light, s it ends up being greenish purple?
Hi
It is very difficult to tell from the photo (which is awesome btw). For me, based on that photo, the plant is not P. cyclosecta. Under low light, P. cyclosecta is largely green. Under good light, the amount of purple in the leaf increases. I have never seen reddish colours in a P. cyclosecta (both in photos and in my own collection). Here is what my plants look like:
Based on the photo, I consider the plant looks more like it belongs to the P. ehlersiae section of Pings. It could also be a hybrid. Photos of the whole plant, the winter leaves and ideally a flower will be needed to give the plant a name.

What is and what should never be
It's not P. ehlersiae nor a hybrid of it. It's too small.
Here's the original plants that yours came form Av:

When I first received it from Jim a year or two (or three?) ago I got it with a bunch of other tiny plantlets. They were too small to tell much about their traits. Something got mixed up somewhere. I lost the P. cyclosecta without even knowing it. I bet it is most likely 1717 or 1713 like Jim mentioned. I received both of those at the same time. Is there any way to tell between 1717 and 1713?
Sorry for all the trouble it's caused Av.

Hey Crystal,
I have flowered both 1713 and 1717, 5 years in a row actually... And no one, not even the real experts, was able to decide which of the two species it was. Which leads me to believe that the two species ought not be segregated in the first place.
Matt, Nan, Jim, Crissy... nice pics and very good info
Pyro?.... hmmmm who is that masked microbiologist that sweeps in like a thief in the night and gives forth words of truth and wisdom
(good to see ya mate)
Oh, I have been around, just been shadow lurking
But it is good to be seen none the less 
Its plain to see I need more pings....
Careful, that way lies and addiction, trust me I know
