You might compare it to desi squash, a Cucurbita pepo variety. I’m growing them this year and it seems similar.

A photo from a little farther back showing more of the plant might also help with this ID.

Edit: also, if you know, it would be good to find out how long that fruit has been growing. Has it reached maximum size or do you think it is still growing?

Edit: I’m adding this photo of a young Desi squash. Within the first week of pollination. It will double in size but still remain pretty small

Possible. I’ll post again after I harvest and taste it.

Cue Ball is another C. pepo that is mainly used as a summer squash: https://www.westcoastseeds.com/products/cue-ball?variant=29695502581820

Pepo summer squash is the overall impression I’m getting

Thanks. I’ll grow it out for seed, and see how it turns out.
