It is a little different from all of the ones I have so perhaps somebody has seen one before.
It seems to have just one central spine reflexed with 6 strongish radials. The flowers are the normal yellow but with a bit of red on the outside of the petals.
It is also starting to develop the powdery blue cover like the cinerea group

Re: Anybody recognise this Copiapoa
How about Copiapoa mollicula? Seems very willing to go white in cultivation. Although the juvenile form has only tiny spines, adult plants that I assume are correctly named develop spines like this. And some of them have particularly pale flowers with red outer petals.
