It's him all right. Brown-haired, but surely that isn't as much of a shock after Peter B? It would stand to reason there'd be other versions of Peter with dark hair. And besides, there are similarities too. A Parker look to him in general, much like Ben had had. It's not exact, but close enough to be a twin or a brother. A much younger brother...

He's looking at her in turn as well. She's so much older than he remembers? His May had complained about gray hairs but didn't seem to actually have any; this May is all silver and looks like she's just had the hardest month of her life. Which, y'know, she almost certainly has. But May is May, and - oh, god, when she reaches out for him he can't take it. From the first instant he'd started to realize he probably wasn't coming home from Titan, he'd desperately wanted to see his Aunt again. Out of anyone else in the whole damn world ...

"Y-yeah," he chokes out. "It's me, May. Sorry - sorry it took so long." She's not his May and he's not her Peter, but - does that really matter? If May decides it matters then fine, he'll just be heartbroken, but. May is May is May. He lets out a strangled little noise and steps forward, putting his arms around her. (His grip is that same blend of gentleness and super strength that her own Peter had had. Impossible to fake, surely.)
