No Idea What This Is - But Beautiful

Beautiful shrub/tree featuring red, orange, yellow leaves in fall. The best part though, are the bright pink pods which open to reveal bright orange seeds/berries. Would love it if someone could identify it.

A type of Euonymus.

It is definitely a member of the Bittersweet family (Celastraceae). It appears to be one of the deciduous members of the genus Euonymus. It is not American Strawberry Bush (Euonymus americanus). It could be the exotic Winged Burning Bush (Euonymus alatus) or the native Eastern Burning Bush (Euonymus atropurpureus).
