This guy had no tag, would appreciate an ID

Picked this guy up at a roadside cactus nursery in the middle of nowhere. The kid working the counter had no idea what it was. Looking at some examples online, to me it looks like a Copiapoa humilis, maybe?

So, what'd I buy?

Copiapoa, probably humilis? One of the smaller Copiapoa's and large enough to flower at that size.

Looks like the original Hutchison form, they come in both brownish and green bodied forms.

Thanks! That's the best I could guess by searching online. This would be my first Copiapoa and I was concerned that the soil looked too rich.
