Though it may not be exactly "Williams" per se, it may be of the Williams Cavendish class, because the hands appear that way, and the keiki looks a lot like how an established mat will grow (tight in). I grow all of the above, and it's definitely showing Cavendish type characteristics. The black at the base of the petiole is very characteristic in an adult Williams. That being said, it could be one of the many phenotypes. After all, Williams was named after William Cavendish, Duke of Devonshire.
Not any type of Cavendish with those flowers
