Although the flowers are pale, the pinkish colour and multiple flowers on a single plant would make this pink fingers.

Thanks Matt it was more pink than the photo shows it. Another nearby was whiter. I'm guessing there are both, white fingers and pink fingers?

Probably all the same, but a whiter plant could also be dusky fingers. There is a bit of variation within each species so they could all end up being pink fingers.
