This is a picture of Zephyranthes carinata. Zephyranthes robusta has a green throat and the flower is mostly white with only pink at the edge of the petals. Can also tell from the foliage as the leaves are slim and glossy green on carinata. Robusta has wider and slightly duller-silvery leaves. Z.robusta produces lots of papery seeds and Z.carinata rarely produces any seed at all.
I've uploaded a side-by-side for comparison.

Thank You! It has been a while since I posted this, but I believe I purchased it as Z. robusta. I'll request that it be moved.
