One of my favorites to grow, and it's common name is red bird flower and now I can see why !

Welcome to Louisiana ........My guess is Red Tip Photinia..I could be wrong as I do not have any in my yard ) If it is..... lots of imformation if you to a search on the forum..... ....I read this recently :Ten years ago, one of the most popular shrubs in the South was the Red-tip Photinia (Photinia fraseri). Everybody wanted this handsome evergreen shrub and it was widely grown by Southern nursery growers for use in both commercial and residential landscapes. Red-tip is a wonderful, large, evergreen shrub with attractive foliage and showy white flowers. Its claim to fame is brilliant red new foliage that appears in the spring. Nevertheless, in the last 10 years or so, Red-tip has gone from the top of the list to the bottom due to intense pressure from a devastating fungal disease. Red-tip is highly susceptible to the fungal pathogen known as Entomosporium that causes leaf spots and ultimately defoliation. The disease has all but eliminated Red-tip from the list of recommended shrubs for Southern landscapes. In fact, the disease is so widespread that one plant pathologist jokingly explained that there are two types of Red-tip, those that have the disease and those that are going to get it! So, even though newly planted Red-tip bushes may stay disease free for many years, ultimately they will succumb to the inevitable. Carol

If you can post a picture on the Name That Plant forum, I think you'd get an id. You can attach a picture that is up to 60K in size (the bigger the better), or you can post a picture on a hosting site (like Photobucket) and just give a link to that picture.
