It would help if you could show the back of the flower as well as the front, and also show the stem more clearly. This would show the important colour differences between C. carnea and C. fuscata which cannot be seen in a close-up front-on picture.

Will do in future, I am still catching up on uploading sightings from a month ago prior to knowing what the key ID differences were.
