Question about Phoenix Sylvestris

I am bringing this thread back to life from 2015 because I wanted to ask about a type of Phoenix Sylvestris that I have been seeing lately.  Below is a sample photo taken in Gainesville, Florida.  I have seen a lot of these in commercial plantings over the past year or so.  They look like a regular Phoenix Sylvestris, but they have a slimmer than normal trunk, and fronds which are more yellow than usual. 

Am I mistaken?  If not, could there be some element of hybridization going on here?  If so, what exactly?

Just curious - thanks.

I think there is a "robusta" form as well....IMO they look better than the slim ones.
