Fig ID Help

A friend of mine in Virginia sent me these pictures of a fig tree he found today pink outside with a red inside The owner of the property wasn't sure where the tree was from supposedly it was on the property for 50 years ? Any idea as to what variety this might be?

Judging by the leaves (the ones more in the background) that have an extra "thumb" on the central lobe, it is likely a Celeste.

Thanks Jon I'll pass that info to my buddy 

Celeste it is.  I have two trees - still very young (less than 2 feet tall).  Grew from cuttings last year.  I am seeing few figlets coming out since last week.  I see other Celeste in DFW area already have riped fruit.  I guess because it's age - I may not get edible fruit this year.
