Caveats as already given by other people, but I'd lean towards Sorbus
glabriuscula (Sorbus hupehensis hort.) which can have white or pinkish
berries.

There are lots of different rowans grown, but the 5 that turn up
reasonably commonly are Sorbus aucuparia (both the red-berried wild form
and the orange-berried cultivar), Sorbus cachemiriana (large white
berries), Sorbus glabriuscula (pinkish white berries), Sorbus 'Joseph
Rock' (pale orange berries), and one with large clusters of small red
berries which I haven't put a name to (probably Sorbus commixta or
Sorbus sargentiana).

Can you give a more precise location, so I can pass the details on to
the country recorder?
