Looks like a S. uresana, in the way that the leaflets divide and droop.  The color varies on these.  But maybe a domengensis that gets a little more wind exposure, than ones I've seen labeled as such, in California.  Does it have lingules?

Hard to say from this pic.  My domingensis has longer petioles(its in full sun), and notably thicker leafbases but a more open crown.  A domingensis is a bismarckia size palm, this one above seems to be the next size down.  Here is my domingensis, its wider(20'+) than it is tall(~18') in full sun.  my domingensis is wider than my bismarckia by a foot or two.  second pic shows ligules on my domingensis which are common to both causiarum and Domingensis(some claim it ID's causiarum, but this is not extablished).  Taxonomist Scott Zona specifies fruit size and branching orders of the inflorescence as the way to differentiate Causiarum and Domingensis in his 90 page monograph on sabals.
