I'm trying to figure out what this shrub is with red berries. I tried searching online and found an exact picture of what I have, but it isn't identified.

Its not a Viburnum trilobum - trilobum means three lobes and these leaves have no lobes. Its not an elderberry because elderberry berries grow in big clusters and their leaf is a compound leaf. Its not a chokeberry because these grow leaves in an alternate pattern, not opposite as seen in the pic. The berry formation and leafing pattern strongly resemble that of a bush honeysuckle.

It looks mighty like red elderberry to me-sambucus racemosa. Leaf make up is 5 to 7 leaflets with creamy white flowers- blooms in a rounded or pyramid cluster. It is common in damp coastal woods, subalpine meadows, open forest-from sea level to mid-elevation. Throughout Ranges from Alaska to California. http://www.uwgb.edu/biodiversity/herbarium/shrubs/sampub01.htm
