There are some small ornamental apples that have been in my yard for decades that look very similar dogwood. No idea about the cultivar or anything (previous owner planted them AFAIK), but they are beautiful with reddish-pink leaves and white blossoms.

Some kind of Malus floribunda probably, but check also the plum Prunus cerasifera pisardii for comparison, and the serviceberry.

Cydonia oblonga has bigger flowers and in some way can remind dogwoods or even some magnolias when in blossom.
