Dark Fig ID

Any idea on this one?

I picked it up from the front window of a now defunct crepes shop that had a big La Prima Espresso sign over its door. That was in the fall of 2009. This is the first year it's ripened for me, so the leaves and fruit may not be perfectly representative. Tasty fig. From the coloration during ripening (lingering green in the neck with unevenly distributed dark purple skin), I was worried that it was Brown Turkey. The size varies, but the fruits are smaller and tastier than Brown Turkey, and they don't have the cavity at the center. They're also smaller and a week or two earlier than my Hardy Chicago. A bit bigger than Celeste.

Sals, Hardy Chicago, and about a dozen others that all look a lot alike.
