ID Help & Suggestions

Hello - my first post here so please excuse any etiquette mistakes.
My wife and I live inn Houston, Texas US and want to plant bamboo along our concrete wall to provide a creen from our neighbor's three story home next door. The bamboo in the attached photo would work but I don't know the type. I assume it has been trimmed to look like it does.
We have grown black bamboo as well as clumping bamboo for 20 years at our old house. The clumping bamboo was certainly tall enough but migrated about fifteen feet over time and died out where it was originally. We only need about 20' of height to get some privacy. We have a narrow planting bed between pool and concrete wall with a 2 feet deep footer on the wall.
We have seen some yellow-stalked bamboo for sale online that was very exotic but am afraid it was just a camera filter.
Any advice will be appreciated!
