Urban roadside poppies id

Question

I have been seeing a few of these popping up around Sydney lately, it took me a long time to even get a good look at one to realise it was a poppy at first, as I am usually drivinng past them at 60-80kmh.

Today the traffic stopped just right so I was able to take a very hasty and crappy phone pic.

Any ideas on what they might be? Regular poppies or something more interesting? They are kinda light pink with a darker purple spot near the base of the petals - reminds me of pap. somniferum in a way, but i'm far from an expert on poppies.

Please excuse the crappy quality of the photos...I'll try to get a better one...
