Yeah Mayberry is correct, aka [Vaccinium elliottii](https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/126375-Vaccinium-elliottii). Could also be [Vaccinium virgatum](https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/52742-Vaccinium-virgatum) but that one seems to start blooming in spring. Both are in section ‘Cyanococcus’ of Vaccinium, which means they’re close cousins of Vaccinium corymbosum, the most commonly cultivated species. Along with other species that are commonly known as ‘Highbush’ or ‘Lowbush’ blueberries.
