User's notes

Growing in rocky crevice beside a small creek, on north side (so shaded from midday sun). Height is very rough: the plant is drooping and hanging over the water. Plant is small: could be young, or could be small. Individual fronds are barely 5-7 cm long.

Likely a young plant, as you say. I can’t be completely sure of its identification until it gets bigger.
