Unidentified tree, possibly ill?

[Nickt9]

Update. Maybe it is a sycamore! 
 

The tree top is starting to show some green so perhaps it is just late. But mid May does seem very late. No other trees in our area look this bare. 
 

thanks everyone

Branch and twig structure is unmistakable for sycamore. The fact it’s on top of a big hill will have all sorts of impact on how it looks

Thanks. If anyone has any idea about whether it needs to be looked at up close by a pro, or if I should just ignore it for the time being, id be much obliged.

Thanks for everyone who said Sycamore and everyone else for their best guesses! 
 

perhaps the reason I don’t remember seeing many seeds is that it didn’t get many off. ?

Quite! You didn't know sycamore as well as you thought you did.

Back in the woods yesterday, thought I’d get a picture. These are pretty much all sycamore, and most fully in leaf, but this one holding out for some reason. Seemingly healthy tree, buds are green but only just starting to swell. There are several in the woods all the same..?!
