This is not a typical B. nudum, but it looks to be in a dry area, so it may be a stunted form. The spores would tell the story. If there are spores under regular pinnae, definitely not B. nudum, which has fertile fronds very different from non-fertile ones. Reminds me a bit of Nephrolepis.

The fertile fronds of B. nudum are quite different in appearance than the sterile fronds. There are no fertile fronds in that photo, if it is (likely) B. nudum.
