Default Squash/zucchini/pumpkin flower ID please

I have a volunteer floweriing in the back yard. I have never grown any
members of this group so it must have come from a bird or some other
vector. Anyone know what it is? Flower is 5-6" across, largest leaf is
9" across. Flower is actually sulfur yellow but I can't seem to get the
pic color right. It hd one flower close already but it just dropped off
instead of forming any sort of fruit.

A view of the embryonic fruit behind a female flower would be good. Often
the female flowers growing start after the male flowers.

Squash. Cucurbit in any event.

Cucurbit pepo. Without seeing the fruit, it is impossible to identify
the cultivar. It would be one of the following.

'Jack O'Lantern' pumpkin
'Connecticut Field' pumpkin '
'Acorn' or 'Table Queen' squash
'Vegetable Spaghetti'
'Zucchini', 'Yellow Crookneck'
and Bush Scallop summer squash
Small, hard shell gourds
Edible gourd
Vegetable gourd

Something in the squash family by the looks of the leaves and flower.
