I believe it's an American Red-Blossom.

I was about to say the same thing. Time to do some Google-fu!

They look very similar. However the size of the flowers makes me leans towards Red-Blossom.

Redbuds are gorgeous trees. I grew up with them and every spring they bring so much life to the area in and around Tulsa. Love them!

Actually I know for the sole reason that my mother planted one in the backyard of her home a couple years ago... so it's the exact same kind of tree.

I literally don't know much about trees other than maple :P

It does look nice though.
