Nice pictures. It is not easy to photograph Drosera flowers in the field. They are very small, the contrast is high, and they flower only for a short time around noon.
Thanks to seeing the flower it is easy to be sure that this is not D.rotundifolia. The anthers carry yellow pollen while the pollen is pale-whitish in D.rotundifolia. The stigma shape and size is different, the flower is rather large, while D.r. has even smaller petals.
The flower looks pretty much like that of D.intermedia, so I'd guess that's what it is. The ovaries are swelling, so it is probably not a hybrid. The wider leaves may be caused by a less sunny and water logged place. It would be easier to tell from an image of the whole plant.
