Yes.  White oaks have rounded lobes on the leaves, red oaks have points on their lobes.

See I was of the same opinion.. but here's the curve ball.

Attached is a photo of the heartwood. I know white oak isn't necessarily always white but seems pretty dark for a white oak to me? 🤔

Looks like bur oak to me.  I've never been able to grow one big enough to use the wood, so I have no idea what it looks like inside.   ;D
