Whats this wood?

Cut up enough in recent years but really not sure on this one.

 

It came in some loads which were supposed to be beech,ash and sycamore. Glanced at the load and thought oh good plenty of ash is this lot but once split realised it's not ash. Weight and grain seem like sycamore but I have never seen sycamore with bark like this. Only thing of note it's shedding it's bark easily like chestnut does. Taken a few pictures of ash and the un identified wood. Unknown wood on the left in the top three pictures and on the right in the lower one. Think the wood on left in the lower one is sycamore just to confuse matters.

The bark looks poplar/aspen like but I would expect it to be noticeably lighter than sycamore if it’s dry.

The grain look far more like maple than pop from googling a few images. Slightly whiter than sycamore but other than that very similar.
