Help Fig ID

I got this fig a few years ago from Burnt Ridge as Eastern Brown Turkey and never questioned the ID.
However after recently looking at the fig and leaves I think it must be something else. First thoughts that came to mind were Brunswick or VdB, but really not sure.
Anyone have any suggestions.

My Opinion:Can not be id now at this stage because leaves and fruits at this stage are very similar to Brunswick and Stella.
It can be any of 2 but we have to wait for the interior color when ripe.
However it is not Eastern B Turkey.

Hi JohnJay,
Those greenish elongated and spotted skin... My two cents on "Dalmatie or stella" or in that family. The fruit is green/yellow with amber to strawberry flesh.
Two or three ripe fruits, before swallowing them,  will help as well.
"Dalmatie or stella" is a really productive tree with a compact growth. It is a good choice and it is in the cold hardy class.

Here's an update on my unknown fig. What I am sure of now is that it is not Stella. The pulp is amber, very sweet, a little caramel and no complex taste.
I perhaps picked it a little early so color/flavor might not be fully developed. Had a frost last night so remaining figs will not ripen.

So my own guess is, possibly a Brunswick but then again it looks more like Doree/Goutte d'Or at the Blackmoor Nursery site.

Any thoughts, ideas out there

It looks a lot like the one I called UNK 7th St., and I am not sure, but mine seems like a possible Violette de Bordeaux.  No ripe figs so I am not sure yet.  A fig left on the mother tree that I spotted in February was smallish, dark outside, and dark red inside, smelled like berry.  My old post:  http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/can-anyone-please-identify-this-fig-7275288?highlight=7th+st&pid=1288583688
