Thomasville citrangequat?
-
Calamondin I think.
-
Possibly a Rangpur or Rangpur hybrid ?
Can you do a better pic of the foliage.
Could be Calamondin but hard to tell from foliage.
Both the above would have sour mandarin flavour more than exactly lemon.
Any reddish flowers or new growth tips.

It is difficult to know from a picture, but I also thought it could well be a Rangpur lime.
-
Sure looks like a sour mandarin type. Calamondin will have a sweet edible peel. Rangpur will not in my experience.
-
I was thinking Excalibur Red Lime Hybrid.

Other 'Red Limes" seem to have more pointy leaves than Rangpur.
Some Limequats have pointy leaves, but the fruit colour is wrong for most of those.
Other helpful to ID a Citrus would be where it came from.
Is it a grafted tree from a nursery, that would tend to narrow it down to known types.
Is it a seedling in someones yard, that could widen the possibilities.

Thanks everybody . Regards
