Cotoneaster?

I suspect there will be quite a lot of garden photos this week. I am on jury service so obviously can't take pictures there! (not that I did very much today - sent home after a couple of hours, have to go back tomorrow to see if they want me then instead. I'm sure there must be a more efficient system!).

Anyway, blippers have been pretty good at helping me identify plants in the past, so any ideas on this one? It's an evergreen, I think it might be a cotoneaster, but am not 100% sure. This time of year whatever the weather it is covered in bees, they love the tiny pink flowers (I was trying to snap a bee here, but it kept moving underneath the branches out of the way!). In the autumn some (but not all) of the leaves go a really vibrant red.

Pic enhanced a bit in PicMonkey as the flash had bleached it out a bit.
