Yes, in fact I think it is an equisetum ... but it's smaller than any other specie I've seen here.

I know, but the positioning I can't find anything that matches. However, it sure seems to be an Equisetum.
GustavoMorejon
It's almost half the size or more that Equisetum giganteum. This one is about 40 cm high.

Though I am not exactly sure of which species of Equisetum this would be I think that it is a member of this genus.
