Type of Maple Tree

I would like to know if someone can tell me what type of maple tree the attatched photo of my leaf shows. I was told it was a red maple, but the side of the leaf seem to have rounded edges compared to the pictures I have seen which show promident pointed edges. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Certainly looks like Red Maple Acer rubrum to me.

 

Red maples leaves are highly variable. There are two basic types in the Southeast, one with 5 prominent lobes with relatively deep indentations, and one with 3 prominent lobes that are not as indented along the edges.

 

acer Nigrum for me ,in autum Yellow, if in autum red sorry !!alex

 

Black sugar maple can have reddish fall color, too.
