V. rufidulum leaves are glossy above, with rusty hairs on the petioles, and much thicker than V. prunifolium. Also they both have fruit in similarly sized clumps, these fruits are well developed and hard to say what has happened to rest of them, and pic 3 looks like some of them are in clumps.

From all the pictures I'm looking at, it looks like the black haw fruit is in clumps. This was just one or two per stem hanging down. I think rusty blackhaw looks more like it. Viburnum rufidulum
