Last 2 could be Pear, if you say it heavy. 

[Vedhoggar]

Poplar, willow and alder

The bottom one a Fiskars X25, a Husky S2800 splitter and a Stihl hookaroon literally just bounce off of 😄 ... was most shocked about the hookaroon 😨

I didn't get much of that but using 3 rounds cut about 18" long standing on end pushed together as a platform to put a tyre on and split other wood ... and it works a treat 😊.

 

1st time I've used a tyre for splitting ... absolutely brilliant, cut the time in half.

I find alder the size of the last pic easy to split and lighter than other woods. Which suggests your log isn't alder.

I thought pear too

[skyhuck]

Don't look like Pear to me, Pear bark always has a sort of burnt appearance, IME.

I don't think pear either; the little plates of bark aren't rectangular enough.  But we know the wood's heavy and hard; looking at the bark too I'd say hawthorn's a good shout

[Lowestoft Firewood]

Lombardy poplar 

Willow 

Some sort of thorn

How big do pear and hawthorn grow ... these were from fairly sizeable trunks and would have thought came from quite a big tree. I always thought (with my complete lack of knowledge I hasten to add) that they'd be relativelty smallish trees / trunks but I could be toally wrong with that?

I don't think hawthorn, what I've had split really easy and was paler than that.

I'd say pear still possible. Can be small trees but I've cut 18" hawthorn and pear.
