Need help identifying this tree

We recently moved into a new house in July and I'm having trouble identifying this tree. Despite the extreme drought in MO this summer, this tree has almost doubled in size. It's now stretching into my neighbors yard and I need to trim it, but I want to make sure I know what it is first. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can post more images if needed.

Salix integra?

Here is a link that might be useful: Salix integra

Thanks for the reply. Not sure that's it. Here's a close up of a leaf.

Probably that or S. purpurea (which some think are synonymous).

Kind of funny...I came in from a couple of hours of trimming willows in the yard, and clicked on "name that plant" while I had a snack...this was the first thread I saw, and my immediate reaction was..."willow!"

I am sure this is a 'Hakuro-nishiki' (unless it is that other, much less often sold variegated form of Salix integra).
