My vote goes to Aurea. Typical distorted nodes on the old culms, and shoot that is also aurea-like and totally not aureosulcata-like.

It's spectabilis to my knowledge, mother plant is to the right in that pic sold to me as phy aureosulcata spectabilis. Yellow culm, green groove.
I'll take a fresh pic tomorrow.

Could be Spectabilis for sure but not impossible to have had a stowaway aurea rhizome in the division, the shoot just looks so very much like aurea but who knows?

It would be neat if you could take a DNA sample from bamboo for ID sake.
Pic from this morning. The mother plant has the close internodes like my Koi does, but not nearly as compressed. And now, comparing, the new Koi shoots look very similar:
