Would be grateful for help with ID please. Unsure if this is a Mountain Cap or not - much smaller than the pink fingers surround it, with short, rounded petals. Spotted along the Square Rock walking track. Apologies for terrible pics - the rain was coming in! Please note the GPS is also looking out of whack - this one was right alongside the walking track and not in the middle of the bush!

It's definitely not C. alpina as that has quite a hooded dorsal sepal. It looks like C. pussila or similar which would fit with your description of a flower smaller than the nearby pink fingers (although it could just be a very small one).

Thanks both for your insights! This one has taken me through numerous field guides lol.
