ID. Mammillaria please

Thanks !

This plant could be something near Mammillaria mazatlanensis

I agree -M. mazatlanensis. Nice plant , but maybe too fast a growth at top of one stem. ghastly gravel!

Or could it be an escobaria?

There are some hooked centrals at the base of pricipal stem.
Is it possible in Escobaria?

At first, I didn't see any hooked spines, but now, after having taken off my glasses and looking very closely, I can indeed see 2 hooked centrals. That makes it very unlikely that it is an Escobaria. The flowers will prove for sure that it is something close to M. mazatlanensis (it should flower from the sides, whereas an escobaria has flowers in the top). Maurillio, I just saw your photos of M. gueldemanniana, and it looks very similar to this cactus.
