A little, but not much. Feel comfortable saying it is spruce (Picea). It certainly has short needles as Picea maximowiczii looks to. I'm honestly not familiar with that species...just trying to help move along the conversation. But it sounds like I'm not the only one. Compared to Picea polita - another I don't know!
Picea glauca also has very short needles and is far more common. I'm an Ocham's razor kinda guy. That is the simplest answer to short needles spruce...but other evidence can certainly point to other.
Cones and buds may be most helpful...
"The leading characters of this little-known spruce appear to be: young branchlets glabrous, reddish brown; buds ovoid, acute, resinous, about 3⁄16 in. long; leaves 3⁄8 to 1⁄2 in. long, four-angled, concolorous, rigid, pungent, arranged radially round the shoot as in P. polita. Cones up to 2 in. long, with scales rounded and entire at the apex." From here:
