Need help identifying whether it’s a bottle or a spindle palm

[Palmsareawesome]

I bought this palm from a nursery the other day and they told me it was a bottle palm but I thought it looks kinda like a spindle palm. I cant really tell the difference so I’ll see what you guys think.

It’s a Spindle.   Bottles have reddish petioles and a little less upright fronds with fatter leaflets at that age.   They look a little similar when young, but the petioles give them away. 
Spindles are good palms too.  Perhaps more forgiving than bottles sometimes.

Agree. Spindle

I'd guess Spindle too.  Spindles have more yellowish/greenish petioles/rachis at that age.  Bottles are more reddish/pinkish, especially the new spear.  The only thing that may be confusing in the photos is that they seem to be taken in "vivid" color mode.  So it's hard to judge the actual color of the fronds and new spear.

Either way, they are not too cold hardy and may take significant damage or be killed around 28-32F...especially with frost.
