Tickseed Sunflower

Bidens aristosa

Description:

A type of daisy I believe, by the leaves and basic blossom characteristics. Yellow heads around 5 cm at the largest. Eight-petaled leaves in a deep buttery gold. There were a lot of pollinators hanging around these, despite the fact that it had been raining on and off all day.

Habitat:

Blueberry field.

Native tickseeds appears the better match here. Though I'm open to further insights.
Thanks to you both for your suggestions.
