Photos can be tricky, but on this one I'll put in a strong vote for red oak. Would be surprised if it's anything but.

Just bought a half cord of red oak a week ago, looks identical. Good heat source, not on par with white oak, but great regardless. Haven't smoked with it yet, but heard it gives a slightly smokier flavor than white oaks.
