Not sure about this, photo doesn't have the flowers in focus.

Thanks Tapirlord. Sorry about that.
But now that I scan through the other photos on CNM - I think it fits Erophila verna (Whitlow Grass)

It's more leafy than specimens of Erophila I'm familiar with, but they grew in drier condition; the inflorescence certainly looks like Erophila verna.
