Identification anyone?

I think it's a bradford pear but I'm not sure.

Definitely not a bradford pear. Looks more like a cherry to me. What are the flowers like in the spring.

The leaves and bark looks more like that of a cherry tree, but I can't see the petioles well enough to see if there are extra-floral nectaries present. It's very possible, though, that they aren't present on all varieties of cherries.
