Any advice/Confirm identity

I bought it from Lowe’s yesterday, I got the wrong type of pot and will change it to a terracotta soon. I have no south facing windows in my appartment so I’m considering getting a grow lamp. And it’s currently potted in a 4in glazed clay pot with cactus soil.
I’m brand new to plants in general so I’m hoping to keep this one alive so I can confidently start a little collection.
It came labeled as #NotocactusElegans. But it was $4 in a clearance section and not 100% confident on the labeling of it.
If any one can help confirm the ID of it. I’ve included a picture of what I’m assuming is an old bud/flower still on it.
Based on photos I’ve looked up I believe the bud is pretty low on the body of the plant for it to be a Notocactus Elegans.
Thank you! #Cactus #CactusClique

The Greg app has a plant identification feature. What I’ve found is if you press see others. After you click capture. It shows other possibilities.
Looks good! Def remember with cacti that if you feel like you’re β€œignoring” him as far as watering goes- you’re doing it right ☺️
@SirLiquorice what do you think of the ID?
@RJG I think it may be a NoNo cactus as I like to call it. Only other thing it looks similar to is some mammillaria but it probably is a noto. Once it flowers it will be easier to know for sure.
