It's called "pileus" and not uncommon above large cumulus congestus.

Try a google search for pileus

Thanks, the photo has now been appropriately captioned! I do believe
it's the first time I've ever seen pileus cloud, probably because I've
not been in places where you can see large cumulus clouds from afar.
