Ornamental cherry tree identification

These seem to be one of the more earlier blooming cherry trees. I like the contrast of the dark bark with the pale pink flowers. And the upright growth habit. Any idea what variety this is? I would imagine it's a common variety as I see it grown frequently.

here are the proper names: Prunus × yedoensis, Prunus × yedoensis 'Somei-yoshino' or Yoshino cherry

Flowers are single with five petals. Emerging foliage is reddish in color.

Not 'Somei-yoshino' (the "Prunus x yedoensis" of US commerce) with that distinctly vase shaped habit and strongly red new growth. This one looks instead like P. sargentii.
