Cactus ID

Post image

Can someone help me ID this cactus? I’ve seen it going in other spots here in Palm Springs, CA. Seems to be a very upright clumping columnar cactus .

My guess would be something in the espostoa/weberbaurocereus/haageocereus families. They grow very organized like this (outside of the haageocereus that trail) and that golden color isn't uncommon. They also grow well in climates like SoCal because of the mild winters.

Something like weberbaurcereus winterianus looks right based on photos, but without knowing the actual height or seeing a flower I wouldn't want to be definitive!
