Yes, you are right, the blossom hasn't completely opened. We have an extremely warm late October/ early November here, so this late bloom appears to be not usual. (also our Rhododendron develops a second bloom right now) I'll have a look tomorrow if the blossom opened meanwhile completely. Thanks for the comments.

I agree, it does look like Silene dioica, albeit with the flower not quite open. Very late to be flowering though. Are there any other similar Silene in this area?

Because of the bag behind the flower it reminds me of our Bladder Campion, but quite likely yours would be different.
