advice on which bush/plant to choose

We recently moved into a new home in northern Virginia and had a large holly tree removed from our front yard along the house. There are several other bushes planted there and we're trying to decide whether to just keep it simple and plant another one of those or to pick something different.

First question - what bush is it? I know just about nothing about planting and landscaping.

Second question - if we wanted to plant something different, what would you recommend? The house faces south. Maybe something flowering? We have tons of azaleas already, so I wouldn't want more. Main thing is that we don't want to plant something that will overgrow the space and crowd the garage entrance. The space is about 5 feet deep and 8 feet wide.

Included is a picture of the front of the house with the space we'd like to fill to the right. Also a close up of the bush that we're thinking of buying again for identification purposes.

Thanks so much for any help and advice!
