ben mango,

They look like glenn's to me.
Any pics of the inside?
Glenn's have orange flesh and have relatively thin seeds...and are fiberless.
Glenn's can be sweet, but have no tartness.
They give off a strong aroma when ripe.
To me, they smell better than they taste.

here are some glenn pics from my trees for comparison:

These mangoes look very similar (if not the same) to a native polyembryonic mango variety, "Moovandan", found through out Kerala, India. It is the most widely found mango variety in its native.
A little fibrous and watery when over ripe, very sour before ripe. Usually, enjoyed just before it is fully ripe/ when it just becomes soft to touch. Very delicious and flavorful if eaten at the right time. Excellent aroma.
Trees are so productive that we literally say that one can count more mangoes than leaves in the fruiting season! The vigorous trees are tall growing without many large side branches.

So where did you get them? A picture of the inside would be useful for ID purposes. Amount of fiber, texture, color, etc. Maybe even a pic of the tree would help.

Squam or bsbullie have any guesses...Right now I live and help out on a friends farm, there are some 30 varieties of mango,some are topworked and not labeled. This is one of them. Not Glenn , we have some Glenn trees and it's definitely different. I actually like the taste on this one more than Glenn. I'll try to get a pic of the flesh later, phone was inconveniently out of data to take a picture of the one I had yesterday. Little to no fiber. Yellow orange inside. It's a really good mango. Definitely top 10, possibly even top 5 out of the ones planted on the farm...

My phones camera isn't the best. It's more orange. Here is a Glenn on the left and the un-Id'd mango on the right. Notice the pale yellow color,yet ripe
