I have two types in my yard although I have never researched either for a name.
One produces small, bright red berries just like this image and the other produces a dark purple berry.
To me, they are just honeysuckle. I really do not care which. My Robins and my resident Brown Thrasher pounce on the red berries very quickly. The purple berried one is enjoyed immensely by the Catbirds later in the Summer.

That looks like a wild honeysuckle and I have tons of them in the "wild" part of the woods around us. The flowers look like honeysuckle but don't have much of a smell. You can ID it by cutting a branch; they have a hollow stem. It's an invasive species and kills whatever is under them, either chemically or by shading. https://naturalresources.exten...
