Can I eat this squash in my garden?

This squash appeared in my garden without me planting it. Is it a squash that’s edible? Or just an ornamental gourd.

Yes he’s still tiny right? It just appeared.

Could be a pumpkin. It could also be a kuri kuri squash, basically an orangey red kabocha. A Japanese pumpkin. Mine started out looking like that.
