As I often say...show us the whole plant! And - are there any cones present (on tree or on the ground)?

Groups of two eliminates Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus) because its needles are in bundles of five, but it could also include Red Pine (Pinus resinosa) and Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris). Scots Pine has much shorter needles than Red Pine or Austrian Pine.

Most likely your suspicion of Austrian Pine (Pinus nigra) is correct, as that is one of the most common landscape pines for that part of the country.
