Hi, it looks like "Summer Crookneck" to me.

yeah, summer crook neck or yellow crook neck squash.
i had some volunteers come up on the edge of last years garden. they were light green in color when young, turning yellow and bumpy when mature. i'm not sure if they were crossed or not, but they tasted very good. i saved seeds, and will plant again this year, and see what comes up. they were first to flower and fruit so probably didn't cross in last years garden.

Yellow Crookneck
Golden Crookneck
Summer Crookneck
Early Golden Crookneck
Early Golden Summer Crookneck

There's a near endless variation of names for this "type" of summer squash. I wouldn't know if there's actually any difference to them.

I do know there is an Improved (Golden?/Yellow?/Summer?) Crookneck , that takes about 60 days to mature, so it is not the same as any of the above.

Keith,

I've never seen a (G?/Y?/S?) crookneck that starts out green. Mine always start out yellow.
