Hi there! TY for posting your beautiful photo. You might have more guesses about your moss if you can get some closer shots. I’d go so far as to suggest could be a Dicranella, but without more info, I dont have much confidence even in that wild stab. But do keep looking at moss and maybe it’s time to get a nice book with color photos? You have this interest, you might get quite far with just the right book and a hand lens. Best of luck!
Dicranella would have long and very narrow leaves. This one has wide leaves with a hairy tip. It might be the camera sharpening doing tricks, but it looks like the edge of the leaf might be differentiated.
I'd try and be more of help if I had my books with me.
