I think it is safe to rule out the Hickory, unfortunately I am not sure what the species is. Sorry

Hard to tell with the stain lingering…but I would make a guess at oak…it has the basic grain structure of oak. Is it heavy? Oak has a pretty high specific density….if the wood is fairly light it would rule out oak… The only other issue with oak is there are several varieties…so if you do determine it is oak…you might have to then try to figure what kind…to positively match.

I’d make the frame bigger, by making a new frame and not trying to add on. That way you could also make it with whatever wood you wanted to use.
