The bark can be distinctive, but there are several that are similar. To narrow it down read the section in the link, especially section 7. Cut off a small piece that shows a few rings in the end grain and go from there. Also, notice the government ID service further down.

If that was cut this time of the year perhaps you can get leaves.

What is your location? Does the wood have any peculiar smell, and do you have any pics of the limb structure along with any leaves as John suggested?
