Probably. However, Geranium solanderi sometimes has single flowers. I would like to see a good photo of the sepals behind the petals before IDing this photo to species level. Sepals of G. potentilloides have a definite mucro (in G. solanderi they are pointed, but without a mucro) and are wider than sepals of G. solanderi.

I will try to schedule another long walk to take a photo of the back, but knowing my luck the flowers will have finished.

Later close-up photo added showing sepals.
