Hi, The thick, woody pods are immediately indicative of *Cassia grandis* as against the slender, cylindrical pods of some other pink cassias. The immature leaflets of this tree are of a characteristic coppery colour, some of which can be seen in your second pic. The flowers of this tree lack the three swollen yellow stamens of *C. javanica *etc. If you take a close look at the flower, one of the petals will have a yellow base (not evident in your photos).
