I'll go with Blackberry, yours matches up with mine and in your photo a fruit picked did not leave a "cone" which is how raspberries get the hole in the top of the fruit. Go with blackberry. Not sure of exact blackberry species though, heard there are 4 wild varieties.

Just wanted to add there are Black Raspberries too, so color isn't 100% for i.d.
