What kind of squash is it?

My SO brought home two "zucchini" squashes from a neighbors. They're both large, but I noticed one had a much thicker skin (which I attributed to being 'older'). But when I cut it (very difficult to cut) it is more like a butternut squash on the inside. Thick outer skin and an orangey colored flesh. I'm not sure what it is, but I am quite certain it is NOT a zucchini. Any ideas?

Update:

I would say butternut, however it was the exact same shape and size of the zucchini. Butternuts are round and this just by looking at it .............was a zucchini twin.

    Sounds like a butternut squash to me for sure,they do have a thicker skin then zucchini,and are a better tasting squash also.I grew them last year and they lasted all winter as we let them sit on our basement shelf's .
