Default "Beeswing" Mahogany

I've always been amazed by the back/sides on my Taylor Leo Kottke. Today I saw a Santa Cruz with what was labeled "beeswing" mahogany...it looked like my Taylor's wood.

Is this "beeswing"?

Possibly ,this is my Circa that is supposed to be Beeswing Mahogany it seems to be more figure going perpendicular to the center. But it's just a guess

Once I see your Circa, I don't think my Taylor qualifies as "Beeswing".
Lovely guitar

It doesn’t look like the “bees wing” I’ve seen. Too little figuring.

The figuring is not random enough to be considered beeswing.

Looks more like Cuban Mahogany to me. That is real nice wood, too.
