Chris - if you will check out the other 'help me ID..." posts further down the page here and over on page 2 - been a real run of the question lately - you'll find that volunteers and those grown from saved seed can seldom by identified. And even then they are just guesses.

Squash cross-pollinate far too readily (unless it is prevented) for them to breed true. So yours is a hodge-podge. :)

Growing out volunteers can be interesting but seldom worth the work or space.
