Anyone recognise this maple?

My snake bark leaves are much more incised Stewart.
I'm not going to insist that it's a snake-bark, but that group seemed
the best match in Mitchell. There's several species of snake-bark maples
- Mitchell includes Aa. davidii, crataegifolium, pensylvanicum,
rufinerve, hersii, capillipes and forestii, and also mentions A.
laxiflorum. The degree of lobing varies within and between species; for
example some forms of A. davidii have, fide Mitchell, unlobed leaves.
I'd still think it's the pensylvanicum - though does the bark get its
stipes as the tree gets older?
