Is this Ramalina farinacea?

Hi,
Is this Ramalina farinacea?

Sorry for the poor photos, I didn't have my camera out with me (won't make that mistake again!). It was growing on hawthorn among Xanthoria parietina, so that would fit with the 'found on nutrient-rich bark'. I initially thought Evernia but it is not lighter underneath, so then I thought Ramalina. I may be wrong, I'm still very overwhelmed by this lichen book I have, but it looks like it has 'soredia along the margins of the branches in disc-like or oval soralia'

I may be completely wrong, but at least I've attempted an identification this time!

Cheers,
Loz
