The berries look like cotoneaster, but the leaves don't.

Cotoneaster is a diverse genus. That could be something on the lines of
Cotoneaster x watereri or Cotoneaster lacteus (Cotoneaster frigidus is
said to be deciduous).

There are several cotoneasters that have large leaves and a few that
have broad large leaves, such as cornubia. Someone else has suggested
viburnum but AFAIK, at this time of year, the only ones bearing
berries wouldn't bear such green leaves - I'm assuming a current
photo.
The age and size of the bush this cutting came from will help to
narrow down the species.

And before others scream, I meant to say "variety", not "species" :)
