These are photos of small trees (or large shrubs) with red berries in the forest near me (Zone 7a). I took these photos between mid-September and mid-October, and I haven't been back recently to see if the berries are still red.

Does anyone recognize them? I couldn't get a good photo of entire plant(s) because they're growing so closely packed together in a shady area, but I'll try again if these aren't sufficient for an ID.
The trunks are slender, maybe just an inch in diameter at the base, and the plants arch over the path.
Edited to add that they might be Viburnum setigerum (Tea Viburnum), but I'm not sure.

I agree it's a Viburnum.

That is Viburnum setigerum, Tea Viburnum.

Although it is not native to North America, I don't know of any reference that this is considered an invasive species by any authoritative source.
