Here is a photo comparison of some of the bark and leaves.

The bark is from a tree I bought from House of Bonsai in the LA area. It was by itself, unlabelled, the only one there. It has a reddish spiny bark, and slightly smaller, darker leaves.

Photo two shows the leaf comparison... all of these are the largest and most mature leaves on each tree.

(left to right)

small collected Coast Live Oak; unknown but very straight flat leaved oak with grey/white bark; red barked more crinkly darker green oak; light barked collected oak with fewer points on leaves; very flat lighter green more points light barked oak
