Default anyone recognise this leaf?

"Stewart Robert Hinsley" wroteI came across what appeared to be a
self-sown sapling in a wooded
ravine. It was too shaded for photography, but I was to place a leaf in
a shaft of light so at least I got a photograph of that. Anyone
recognise it?

One of the rarer Oaks I think. Possibly Lucombe Oak.

Looks like it and it fits the description but do they seed around
successfully?
