Can anyone kindly check my gallery and let me know if they can recognize my banana plant's species?

I'm not sure what it is. My best guess is Dwarf Cavendish. The retained bracts and male flowers below the bunch are indicative of a dwarf variety. The hairy peduncle of the bunch suggests a AAA variety like Cavendish. But is also has some characteristics that don't match well, and sort of resembles Dwarf Brazilian (dwarf "Hawaiian Apple"). When the bud first emerges, these two are very easy to tell apart. And by flavor.
