Echinocereus

A friend of mine purchased a cactus at a farmer's market. The plant, however, did not come with a tag giving its scientific name.
I believe, that the cactus pictured below is perhaps an Echinocereus pectinatus or even some kind of E. viridis.
Please let me know what you think this plant's scientific name is.

Looks like a bunch of Echinocereus rigidissimus. I have never heard of E. viridis, what is that?
