I recently got a sundew, but it came without labels. Please help to identify! Thanks!
also, just like to ask if it needs more light?

That looks like Drosera spatulata to me.
It will take as much light as you can give it.
In full sun, the entire plant will be Red.
With adequate sun, you should see Red tentacles and glands.
That's my two cents worth.
Welcome to the forum.

Impossible to say with absolute certainty. A complex hybrid perhaps with some definite flava and leucophylla influence. Possibly some purp in there too.
This looks like a juvenile/yearling plant. It may be easier to identify some parentage once it's fully mature, but should still be labeled NOID.

The sundew is spatulata I think. I agree with Shadowtski that it could use some sun. If it is kept outside with full sun it can be almost completely red.
Here is one grown with full sun. 1119181734-1.jpg (591.01 KiB) Viewed 2730 times
