I apologize for the photos poor quality but I was driving! This tree is wider than it is tall and is very full. It is in part sun (surrounded by other trees) in zone 6.
It has a bronze/dark yellowish tint to the new growth/outer leaves on the top of the tree and ends of the branches. The leaves more inside the tree are darker green. Any ideas as to what variety it is?

here is a better photo, I have noticed the tree gets quite a bit of sun actually, wondering if the coloring varies depending on the amnt of sun it gets?

I can't identify the Japanese Maple in your photo, but to answer your question: Yes, some varieties can vary in color depending on the amount of sun, however most are true to their variety color.

There are many green varieties that are green in full sun. Hubby and I are Japanese Maple nuts. We owned 10 in our last home and currently have 8 varieties in our new home.

If you need advice as to variety for your location, just let me know and I can research it for you. Here are a few photos.

What is the name of the last tree, the one in the bottom right?

Acer palmatum 'Emperor I' Mine will be 10' in about 2 years and can reach 20' over time.

This outstanding red palmatum is exceptionally strong tree. It is comparable to 'Bloodgood'; the reliable standard to which all newer red upright palmatums are compared. 'Emperor I' exceeds even 'Bloodgood' in leaf color retention and growth rate. This beautiful tree has an additional advantage of coming into leaf two weeks later - thus reducing the risk of damage by late spring frosts and cold drying winds. 'Emperor I' holds its color well even in shaded areas. The leaves are a deep purple-red throughout the growing season then change a beautiful dark crimson in the fall. This outstanding cultivar grows thin-textured leaves that at times look translucent and glow in the sunlight. 'Emperor I' also known as 'Red Emperor' is a hardy and vigorous grower, growing 8-10 ft. in 10 years. The tree has an up-right wide crown which makes it a good focal point for a large landscape. 'Emperor I' was discovered and developed by Richard Wolff of Red Maple Nursery in Pennsylvania.

Ok so the tree I am trying to ID has leafed out for the spring and is bright red foliage all over! So I guess it starts out very red colored and later in the summer it turns green/bronzish w yellow cast to the leaves.
Anyone have any idea now as to what it is?

May be a standard red Japanese maple. Acer Palmatum Atropurpureum

I cannot find a link to that in the database here. Is there another name for it, or can you post a link please? I would love to see photos of this to compare to.

It would also help if you could get a close up picture of the leaves. Not all Japanese maples are palmatums. And you won't find a link to Acer Palmatum Atropurpureum because it is isn't an named cultivar, just a result of natural pollination and seeding.

My first thoughts were a coral bark like Sango Kaku or perhaps a Katsura but that is ruled out by the red coloring in spring.
