If its sort of soft and stringy and came from a commercial source, its likely butternut. The torn fibers at the top of the piece makes me think that. Ash cuts cleaner than that, but who knows what kind of blade was used for the crosscut.
If its weight is about like cherry, then it well could be ash.
Some trash tree wood looks like that if the source is locally sawn. Catalpa is one that comes to mind.
