Can anyone help ID this hickory. SE Kansas, along wooded stream.

Could be bitternut.

I think it might be pignut hickory. The reason I say this is that I just had to cut a hickory down last week on my property and I know it was bitternut. Mine has 7 leave clusters which is indicative of shagbark or bitternut. The pignut has leaflets clusters of of 5 leaves which is what you have there I think if I’m counting right.

I blew up the photo of the leaves and I count 7 leaflets.

Not pig nut, whose husk has an end like a pig's snout. Here is a good identification site:

Thanks for the site Jim. It should be a big help.
