What's this wildflower, please?

I have to admit, with an amateur botanist for a mum and a wildlife and landscape conservation degree in my dim past, I'm not often stumped, at least for the family, but this one has me flummoxed. Flower is wrong for a cranesbill or a vetchling...?

But I'm chuffed, too, as I seriously considered spraying off the weedy patch I wanted as green space for the boys, when we took on the other half of the plot. Instead I've just mowed it, and the species diversity is incredible. 😍

Looks geranium like.

Google search came up with doves foot cranesbill? Ah youve said flower wrong. Yer so many geranium types.

I was thinking geranium... Do all cranesbill have the spur on the back of the flower, because this hasn't got that bit?

Is it corncockle?

Those leaves are unusual, can't think of any wild flower just at the moment, will need to find my book

Well that answers my question : not all cranesbill flowers look alike...

Thank you, burnie, not one I knew.
