Seems pretty plausible, doesn't seem to have the hairs I would expect for some of the similar ones.

My thinking - it has to be amphitrichus. The species is really quite widespread and nearly always has a flower or two.
Assuming from the photo that the plant is stoloniferous, and occurs in sub-alpine-montane environments, that gives two possibilities: amphitrichus or collinus (which is not in CNM). I'm not familiar with collinus: but, to me, in photos above the leaves are a better match for amphitrichus than for collinus; petal length seems more like amphitrichus (3-5 mm long) than collinus (5-10 mm according to FloraVic); plus number of stamens looks more like amphitrichus (10-18) than collinus (25-40).
Achenes would help - but aren't always there when needed !
