Two replies as below: "I do suspect it is a *Cleistocactus *(although my *Bergerocactus* shows some similarities!), but it doesn't quite look right for *Cleistocactus winteri*, but there are many variations out there, so that could be it. Spines are too long/shaggy for *C. variispinus*. No other species is quite that golden normally. The shaggier spines at the distal end are throwing me off...looks almost like my *Arthrocereus melanurus*, but a bit too dark in color. Probably need a flower to be sure or at least pin it down a bit more.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help!
