Guitar Identification - Victor Franco

Can anyone identify this guitar that Victor Franco is playing? Closest I could get to identifying it is maybe a Manuel Reyes? It sounds great, but you know what they say...tone is in the fingers.

Here is the link to the performance.

The studio version is quite good too.

To me it looks more like a Francisco Barba...

Richard, I think you're completely right. Good eye, thank you.

Yep. Unmistakeable headstock, though I have been fooled by a couple similar copies at a glance.

I was pretty sure I recognized the headstock, but I've been confused by similar ones. So I checked the shape and placement of the label. Solera Flamenca usuallly has a Barba for sale, with photos.
