A Snowdrop (Galanthus sp) on the verge of opening

A Snowdrop (Galanthus sp) in my garden, on the verge of opening. Most Snowdrops are difficult to identify to species by non-experts. A few are distinctive, but not those in my garden. G. nivalis is the most common species, so I suspect that that is what I have. However, Snowdrops naturally hybridise with one another, so who knows?
