Pigmented Spitz nevus is correct. I tend to regard pigmented spindle cell nevus of Reed in the same category as Spitz nevus but the high power in this case shows the cells to be epithelioid rather than spindled.

Comment: I don't think it matters; it is stated at the website below that "Pigmented spindle cell nevus also known as a Reed nevus is considered a variant of the Spitz nevus". See http://dermatlas.med.jhmi.edu/derm/result.cfm?Diagnosis=366837525

As I understand it, in Reed's naevus there are more horizontally-oriented nests and heavy migration of pigment into the keratinocytes above the nests, both lacking in this naevus.
