Ever since someone told me it was mustard I have assumed it was Sisymbrium officinale. What are the key differentiating features?

The seed pod in Sisymbrium is long and thin and constant throughout, while those of Hirschfeldia bulge at the base and then have tapered beak. Bit hard to tell from the photo but I think Russell is correct in his suggested ID
