Tree ID: Is this a cherry tree?

This is a volunteer in a flower bed. I have another cherry tree (Northstar, I think) in my yard and a flowering cherry, but it could also have been a bing cherry from all the spitting that happens on the patio, LOL. These leaves are long though... about 6 inches each. The bark is smooth and flecked. I'll post a picture of that too. Any idea what I have?
Any way of guessing which kind?
