Is it an azalea?

New things are blooming at an tigin.  This poor, neglected bush is in the hedgerow between an tigin and the neighbor to our west.  The hedgerow was cut back to the property line by the high school volunteers (as instructed) before anything was leafed out much less in bloom. It doesn't really resemble those beautifully cared for bushes I am seeing everywhere, but I can't identify it as any other possibility.
What do you think? Is it an azalea or do you have another idea of what kind of blooming bush it could be?
