I need to replace a section of the floor and I'm wondering what
kind of wood this is to come up with as close a match as possible:

Not hardwood at all. It's yellow pine.

Or Douglas fir. Since you are in Pennsylvania, most probably yellow
pine.

Probably yellow pine, but new wood will not have the aged look and
will require a real wood pro to stain it correctly, like a pro
furniture refinisher, not a floor guy. Cant you remove wood from maybe
a closet.

He said it was "refinished" which I took to mean that it was sanded as well.
If that's the case, then new wood may actually be a pretty good match -- but
if it wasn't sanded, just stripped and revarnished, then as you say, new wood
will not match, probably not even with stain.

I didnt read where he said it was refinished, it looked real yellow in
the photo, I wonder if it was sanded completely, if it was its a bad
photo but old wood is oxidised deep, he still may need a pro to pre
stain and stain it with color
