fig, help (identification)

hello,
I found a very good variétie (Campanière, Lot, France) but it 's seems to be the same than 2 others figs i already have. Can someone recognize this fig? 
The 'Campanière' is in a farm since 1890 owned by the same family. This fig produce during more than a month from 15 august to 30 September and is a heavy producer of good quality figs, and the tree is hardy. I first thought it was a 'Verdal' but the description did not match... Help
Cordialement,
Thierry

It reminds me of Celeste.

Salut Thierry,

How does the taste compare with other figs,  with a Saint Jean perhaps ? St Jean taste like a Celeste I have tasted, Saint Jean is said to be a Celeste or vice versa. Nice fig.

Hello Thierry,

Have this one to compare..
Similar shape, longitudinal skin cracks, pulp (?), also a late & heavy producer and a conspicuos long foot.
Got PLENTY of Sun, hence the marked strong colors...'wasp interference' ? may be..
Early fruit can be quite large!

That is a last season fruit. In a week or so may have the first young season leaves to show

Meilleurs souhaits
Francisco

It is also similar to sucre vert, and Marseillaise.

This fig is far from Saint-Jean and also from Marseillaise and sucre vert, even the taste. In my location, i never saw wasp. I begin to see it 100 km south.
let see some other pictures

Here are the pictures

It's a variety on its own. But I can see little similarity to Celeste as Jon said specially with the thin skin and the darker hues when fully ripe.
