Weed Leaf ID

Just started coming up in my lawn. I've had a good trawl round weed identification sites and can't see an exact match but closest appearing to be Lesser Celandine. Help appreciated.

    Doesn't look shiny enough to be Lesser celandine (mine is dying back now, not coming up), so I would guess at Common Dog-violet (Viola riviniana.)  Too difficult from a single leaf tbh - we need a photo of a whole plant really.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Thank you Bob that certainly looks like it. I actually removed the few that were coming up before thinking about asking for help here but had kept the one leaf to compare in searches.

    Maybe allow it to grow so that the insects have some food.
    Interesting programme on BBC iPlayer and bees, butterflies and blooms with Sarah Raven.
    Worth watching if you can.
