The easiest way to tell the difference between BCC and BCI from the saddles. The BCIs have oval light spots while BCCs have central spikes of the dark part going into the light.

The central spikes are called peaks. To clarify, some Bi may sometimes show peaks and some Bc (specifically Peruvian locals) don't always have peaks.
Having a good history on any boa is always ideal that way you know the lineage. And yes, there are general characteristics (like peaks, saddle/tail saddle shape, number of saddles - Bc tend to have less than 20 but again, it varies) that can be used to tell them apart. A trained eye comes with experience and years of simply looking at them (at least in my view). Also price, as a verifiable lineage Bc may run $300/500 and up. Colombian boas are also called common boas because that's what they are and generally a pet store boa is going to be Bi.
Some people have crossbred the subspecies in trying to create new morphs (like roswell, most likely the fire/diamond and others) or simply to bring in the brighter colors into their Bi lines. Hypos are a locality cross of Bi (Panamanian x Colombian). Again, verifiable lineage from trusted breeders is the way to go if that stuff is important to you (you as in anyone that is buying). It is to some, it doesn't matter to others.
Hope this helps
edit to add - and I hate this new classification of Bi Bc lol I always still use BCi and BCc. old habits...

Not true. Peruvian BCC can have pinched saddles.
At the OP- your snake looks like a BCI to me. Babies can have bright red tails but it darkens with age. Here is my 5 year old Colombian girl for example who had a bright red tail as a baby.
And my Pokigron Suriname girl.
