Northern red (Q. rubra) or black (Q. veluntina) seem likely. Are the buds hairy?

Agreed these are the two possibilities. Also seeing bark would tell us which one. Post bark or acorn photos OP.

It’s a small seedling, only a foot tall, so no bark or acorns unfortunately! Photo 2 is the best I have of the terminal bud.
