Looks like Bubinga to me, but I have been wrong before.
The yellowish tint hints at Padauk, but my vote would be for Bubinga.
I would vote for Padauk also. The color and grain isn’t your typical bubinga. If it is Cocobolo it will have a sweet smell when sanding that is noticeable on something that large.
