Another question; this time a tree

My daughter sent me this pic and asked if I know what this tree is, I'm not sure. Anyone know? She lives in Virginia, if that helps. Thanks.

Not sure but it looks like a Red Dogwood tree.

Could it be a Dogwood?

Definitely a red or dark pink dogwood.

My neighbor has one of these red dogwoods in her yard. We are in Virginia too!

Thank you all. That is what I thought it was, but wasn't sure.

This is an American dogwood as opposed to a Kousa dogwood.

 

American dogwoods get flowers first then leaves. Kousas are the opposite -- leaves first then flowers.

But looking at the bracts -- there should be 4 on a dogwood not the possible 5-6 as seen in your photo. I'm pretty sure it's a dogwood, can you get a photo straight on of the flower?
