Fig ID?

I know the picture is lousy......I know there is no picture of the fig whole and there is no quarter in the picture for perspective.  I took this last October and that was before I knew what should be in the picture.  A friend who knows figs Id'ed it is Latrulla? But today I was looking through Jons database and saw that the Latrulla has a red interior and this fig was tan colored inside.  The outside was greenish yellow if that helps.  It was bought as a Ischia Green and grew amazingly going from 18" to 4 arms each over 7 feet tall in just 10 months.  Any idea what it may be?

Well, my latarulla (purchased from a west coast nursery @ six years ago) has an amber interior.

My Lattarulla from Hollybrook orchards - grown in VA , is a honey/amber colored pulp also , outside green/yellow . It's just starting to leaf out - so can't compare leaves as yet.

My Lattarula, purchased some years ago from Paradise Nursery, also has a tan interior. The pics on F4F are from several different accessions and, other than the 2nd pic, show a leaf pattern that's different than you photo. I wonder if the fruits from all of those accessions are red and if, perhaps, the fruit we see was visited by the wasp. I'll take a look at my Lattarula when I get home from work and compare the dominant leaf to yours.

Thanks all.
