Looks like Owari to me. Look at them big old leaves. Owari has ripened here. Lots of folks clipping and eating. Most of the time Owari takes a drooping form.

This really is hard to say as there are so many similar looking varieties of Satsuma out there, some of which are un-named. I have 7 varieties of Satsuma growing in ground, 5 of which I know the variety, though 2 are mature trees of unkown varieties. Out of the 7 trees, simply by looking at a couple of the fruit the best I could do would be to sort them into perhaps 2 or 3 basic types, those with thin skins, and those with thick skins, beyond that the differences are more subtle, like how round they are, and how textured the skin is. Even then there are those that I find look a lot very much alike such as Owari and Armstrong, here the distinction comes down to ripening date and perhaps taste.
Others are I find almost completely indistinguishable from each other, St. Ann and Louisiana Early come to mind, not only in appearance, but also in taste, and ripening dates are so close that it would take a long term study to detect any difference trend. Of course this is somewhat to be expected with these two varieties as they are both selections that came out of the same breeding program.

Of course this is somewhat to be expected with these two varieties as they are both selections that came out of the same breeding program. They are very different in appearance, St.Ann is upright growing, while LA Early is spreading wide. St.Ann resembles some clementines, could be satsuma hybrid. |

Perhaps that is true, my Saint Ann was killed back to just above the graft union in a hard freeze the second winter it was in the ground. So perhaps that has altered its typical growth pattern. As to the fruit they are very similar.
