Help with ID.

I'm trying to find out what tree this could possibly be. I don't think that it's a Brown Turkey of any kind. The fruit seems too light to be BT, even if it's not ripe yet. I could be wrong however.  Also the leaves are off. The tree is in Houston, TX if that help narrow it down. These are all the pictures I was sent. No inside view of fruit. Even without the inside view I'm sure we could narrow it down based on, leaf shape, location, fruit color, etc. 

Celeste, and Brown Turkey is what I believe it not to be base just on the leaves.

Looks like Celeste to me.

That's what I'm thinking that it is. BT and celeste are the only figs that my limited knowledge proves me that grows in Houston. This picture is not from a tree in a pot. It's a HUGE bush in the groung. So it can't be some newly release human breed figs like improved celeste for example. So I'm guessing that it has been there for years. However none of the leaves come close to matching the list from the figs4fun variety list.

Yes, that is the regular Celeste.

Thank you for the help.
