I don't know, maybe a Escobaria ?

Not a Turbinicarpus, but may be a Coryphantha?

Re: I think this might be a Turbinicarpus.
I agree, not a Turbinicarpus, but my gut reaction was that I've seen Mammillaria with these flowers and tubercles, not as upright though. I wonder if that slender stem is a result of growing conditions (not necessarily bad) or variety.

The areolas of spines made me assume it wasn't a Mammillaria, but you would almost definitely know better than I.

I don't collect Mammillaria, but I do spend a fair amount of time on Turbincarpus. The closest I can see is T. beguinii which would be comparable to the tubercles, spines, and flower.

I would say it is an Escobaria, maybe missouriensis. It is cold hardy and shouldn't be kept indoors to keep original stem shape.
If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.
