Tree service dropped this off the other day. Appears to have been a live tree based on the few leaves that came with it. Very heavy like red oak. One picture shows the tree in question next to a mature ash log.

Around here they call it close bark hickory... I think it's either bitternut or pignut. Great score!

I had to

 

I concur that it's hickory, almost looks like mockernut to me but I am not certain.

The light colored sapwood and bark, look like hickory
