I think it is Quercus helferiana
But, it is not similar with my MS, Dec.,2020/19 Quercus sp. which already identified as Quercus helferiana.
Size of acorn of this tree is about 2.5 cm across. And size of acorn of MS,Dec.,2021/19 Quercus sp. for id is about 1.1 cm in diameter.

Yes, looks somewhat different from your earlier post at MS, Dec., 2020/19 Quercus sp. for id
Also I could not find a match as per comparative images at Quercus.
Keys pl.
It’s not Quercus lineata
Why do you say so?
It is not similar with Mizoram Quercus lineata
To me appears close.
I have doubts about this tree, It seems Quercus helferiana as per the Flora of the Lushai Hills, and it is also very similar with photos taken by Hoang Son in Oaks of the world.
Quercus helferiana leaves are tomentose beneath, which is not the case here.
I will go be Quercus lineata only.
Now I feel it may be more likely to be Quercus helferiana as per Oaks of the world and keys at MS,Nov.,2021/65 Quercus sp. for id
Yes, I agree.
