Another photo in a few days, showing the sepals cupping the flowers more clearly, and also the base of the plant showing whether there is a rosette of leaves or not, would mske it easier to make a definite ID. Drosera auriculata has hairless sepals and no rosette. Drosera peltata and the newly described Drosera hookeri have hairy sepals and a basal rosette. The leaves of the rosette in peltata are red, and those of hookeri are green to yellow.
