Default Pink blooming shrub

OK - I only caught a quick glimpse of it, but does any one know a
shrub/small tree that looks like a pink flowered honey locust. Location,
southern New Hampshire, planted as a hedge along the road.

I don't believe I'll be that was again soon, but.....man, it was pretty.

Thoughts folks.thanks

It's a little early for these to be blooming, but does it look anything
like this?

I doubt it would be a heather. The mimosa is a possibility, but I
thought they bloomed just a bit later around here?

No to both. Only had the stop light (and a short one at that) to look (and
drool), but leaf structure was that of the honey locust and flowers were
very similar as well. Can't get back there - it was a detour around a detour
and I couldn't recreate it if my life depended on it...

One of the Robinia species, perhaps? They should be flowering about now...
