Not 100% sure but the drooping flower bud seems to be a feature of this species rather than Hypochaeris which has erect buds right from the start, the leaves also look different

We have a lot of Microseris and they always have the drooping buds, and while the leaves can be a bit variable, they generally match the ones above

Definitely not Microseris. Hairy leaves are much wider than M. walteri and flowers also wrong.
