Need ID for species of young tree please

What species is this young tree?

I think it's some type of Hickory, but not 100% sure.

This photo was a few months ago; it's a lot bigger now. The red is now gone in the leaves (which are green) and trunk (which is brown now).

Thank you for your help.

Yes, it is a Hickory. You might want to look at USDA and see what species you have in your area. But I might suggest Carya ovalis, red hickory, for your first comparison.

Here is a link that might be useful: I guess you have a lot of hickories

It looks like a root sucker as that's all one season's growth. Did you recently cut down a hickory??
