Default Puzzling shrub

There is a large (10' high) shrub near me with round umbels of
fist-sized, round umbels of slightly asymmetric 5-petalled
whitish flowers c. 3/4" across. Its leavs are very like those
of a current or gooseberry (i.e. three pointed lobes, toothed
and light green, thin and not glossy). Any ideas?

Viburnum onondaga? Mine's in flower now. Leaves a bit big for the
'currant' description, but they're roughly 3-lobed.
