I've scoured CactiGuide and other sources for this one with no luck. It was labeled Parodia but I doubt it. It's in a 4 inch pot. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Could it be Echinopsis backebergii?
The flowers and spines can both vary quite a bit in color, size, and form.

Great! Thank you Aloinopsis. I think you nailed it. I was just looking at pics on CactiGuide and they are very variable. I'm so glad it finally bloomed this morning. Thanks again!

You're welcome. It also has about 12 or 14 names that it's sold under, including several Lobivia species and subspecies.
So in addition to looking VERY different sometimes (I have seen white, red, and pink flowers of all different shapes and sizes and spines that are huge or tiny and white or orangeish), it also has a lot of names.

Certainly a Lobivia if you don't lump everything into Echinopsis.

Thank you Dave
The Cacti encyclopedia by Innes and Glass has this listed under Lobivia with the synonym "Echinopsis backebergii".
