Striped maple flowers hang down below the leaves and the bark is greenish and striped in young trees, although you can't see the bark in this picture. Acer spicatum grows higher up, in rocky areas, and has slightly different shaped leaves in addition to the very different flowers which are held erect in long spikes.
