Any idea what this Chilli might be?

Hey All
 
This wasn't what I expected it to be, any ideas what type of Chilli it could be? It's mildly hot, taste test wise around 40,000 – 60,000 at a guess, with a long burn. The flesh is also reasonable thick like a Jalapeños.
 
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks

No problem at all if it helps with the I.D, thanks.

 
I believed it was going to be a Poblano, which it definitely isn't.

this is a fresno i`m growing this year and the pods are around 3 inches or so. i notice in your picture the pods are growing upright. on my fresno plant they are mostly hanging down with an occasional pod growing sideways. there are so many peppers and crosses that it is sometimes hard to figure out what they are.

Thanks for the responces, i don't think it's a Facing Heaven as it dosn't grow in tight clusters. It does seem indeed that Fresnos don't grow point up, so i'm totaly flumixed.

There are a lot of F1 upwards facing red peppers that look like Fresnos.

This was the only one that had clusters.


Indian Chili Bullet

C. annuum

Description

A fascinating cluster chili pepper from India. When the plant is filled with pods, it really does look amazing. The plant is compact and grows very nicely in containers. The pods ripen from dark green to bright red. The taste is just slightly sweet and the heat level is very suitable for indian food. Grows very well outdoors even in colder environments.

Challenge: 1 (easy to grow).

This description denotes a small/short container plant. Yours is taller, but ‍♂️.

My plant dosn't have clusters though, 1 per node. Assuming the images are valid there do seem to be variations of that grow upwards. After looking into the Fresno possiblity i did find a few that point up.

You found one pic with the peppers growing upwards that was previously linked by bofu.  I recognize (and apologize) that I'm sh*tting on your parade, but if those pods stay facing up that is not a fresno. 
 
IF they sort themselves out and droop as they ripen, well then yeah I could see it.  Just going on what you posted (and no other internet images) it's not a fresno.  I wouldn't normally be this adamant but I use fresno peppers extensively in my hot sauces so I am speaking from 7+ years of growing 15-30 plants per year.  The fresno (and the fish pepper) are my jam.  :)
 
Regardless, I hope you enjoy those pods and they are tasty for you.  My adamant stance should not interfere with your enjoyment of said pepper.  :)

That's really interesting. I would definitely believe your experience over my anecdotal evidence on a first time grow with Fresno's.
I'm pretty sure of this - whatever Sminky is growing i am too :)
I'm finding on my second season of pepper growing that seeds in the UK aren't what they say they are too often!
