Even zooming in I cannot see enough detail to see what the leaves look like. Cannot tell if compound leaves or not. Please can you add clear close ups. Carya cordiformis leaf - Google Search
Thank you for having a look, but I am sorry I can't go back there easily and take another picture at the moment.
Looks good for a hickory seedling to me. Elder can be discounted, as yours has alternate leaves, elder has opposite leaves.
Sorry to be that confused, but the picture I posted was not the one I intended to post ; and was indeed the picture of a Carya cordiformis. I will post the correct picture soon.
Here is the correct picture ; note that there is a stake close to the sapling I would like to identify Could that be a Carya glabra ? Its variation Carya ovalis can have red twigs and veins like this one.
Here is a new picture. I have surrounded it in red. The other things are sticks. Given the color, I would say it is a Carya cordiformis
