Its a Cavendish, likely ‘Dwarf Cavendish’, but potentially one if the taller forms such as ‘Grand Nain’ or ‘Williams’ which is just a little short due to conditions. If you post another photo of the fruit bunch after all the fruit is done setting and the male bud grows for a little bit (do not cut off the male bud), it will be easier to pinpoint the exact cultivar of Cavendish you have.
