What kind of oak tree is this?

Here I was thinking the land around my dad's pond was almost all burr oak with a few black oaks and a few pin oaks. Today I noticed this tree that I always assumed was just another burr oak. Everything about the tree looks like all of the other burr oaks. Only difference is the acorns look like white oak acorns. So is this some sort of hybrid or a freak or just a white oak hiding among the burr oaks?

I will get an up close picture of the bark tomorrow. Either way I will probably collect some of the acorns to get some more going in the rest of the property.
 
I got a couple pictures of the bark today. It's definitely not as rough as the regular burr oaks near it.
