Ash species are easiest to identify by the bud scars in winter. I'm not aware of any way of distinguishing them from the photos you've provided, but if this tree is growing in an upland area there's a strong chance it's white ash

Thankyou, it is upland, on a slope, very well drained sandy loam.

Based on habitat I’m almost 100% sure this is White Ash. Green Ash is going to be more of a bottomland species but also was planted a lot in landscaping

Need picture of petioles. If it doesn't wrap around the axillary buds all that much... it is a green ash. Also, you can ID them based on the Samaras and how far the "wing" extends down the seed. Also, take a look at color of underside of leaflets compared to top side!

Or wait for a squirrel lol. It is hard to ID without getting a close look at leaves!
