I really look up to folks who can identify based on bud size/shape/color.

Maybe in the acer family? Striped?
I see oak leaves below around the base but hard to tell what else.

I was thinking striped maple the other day actually.

Wouldn’t striped maple be opposite rather than alternate?

Not Acer. Not opposite.
Structure certainly looks like willow, as does bark. Not sure.

Ah damn you guys right. I forgot about the bud arrangement and was focused on the bark color.

One big bud scale, lenticels, alternate, and closely attached bud all look like willow. I think of willow lenticels being more skinny, long, and buds being more skinny too, guess that’s variable on age wood though. No guess on which, there are so many salix species and hybrids!

The branch structure reminds me of Witch Hazel.
