Very few people could tell on sight as a detailed knowlege of all the human bones would be required (I would struggle myself) but a chemical analysis can determine the whether or not it has the same compsition as human bone. The bones most often found tend to be bird bones. As these are very light and porous they are easil distinguished from other animals so perhaps checking the structure of the bone could eliminate it being from a human.

A human bone typically has distinguishing features such as size, shape, and structural characteristics that can be identified by a forensic anthropologist or trained individual. Additionally, DNA analysis can be performed on the bone to confirm whether it is human or not.
