It's probably some variety of red maple- which is a native species for much of the eastern USA- the leaves may be reddish/green early in the season. If it's in your yard, it may be a landscape variety- which usually have a longer "red season" for the leaves- but, most will turn green. However, some seem to stay dark red through most of the season.

OK, I'm a little baffled in identifying this one. Just outside my bay
