It's a nice looking fig, whatever it is.

When I was in that area of LA for fig fest in 2012, I heard the variety 'Guilbeau' mentioned a few times. Yours fits the description given on Dalton Durio's website, but it's not very specific.

Guilbeau French - This large, green to brown fig comes to us from France. The flavorful pink flesh is very sweet. This is a popular cultivar wherever it is grown. The green skin takes on a little brown coloring as it ripens.

I am not saying that your fig is definitely the same Guilbeau, just that it could be. There were some pictures posted of this variety posted many years ago on F4F by Cecil. The pics he posted do not match the description above.

Cecil's fig was not Guilbeau French.
