Dwarf Mouse-ear ?

Do you think this could be Dwarf Mouse-ear Cerastium pumilum ?

It's a diddy one anyway, the flowers about 0.5cm across, petals no longer than sepals, the sepals with that see-through tissue-like edge, leaves quite hairy, tinged reddish, but I haven't tried to id this one before.

Growing on (chalky) Bembridge Down.

Thanks for looking..Rob

Your ID is correct - great find

If you keep an eye on it the stem should go much redder as well
