I have quite a few of these on the property, some a lil bigger, none overe 12" dbh, the bark gets slick more towards the top.
I have always thought of them as soft maple.

Some buds and some of the dried up leaves would be helpful. In a few months you can collect the fruits which are quite good for ID also.

I have always thought that if you can pull some of the bark off with your fingers then it is NOT hard or sugar maple. But that don't tell you what it is ;D
