Looks to be Drosera capillaris. There is a characteristic of the petiole I look for that helps me make a quick ID. If you look carefully at the petiole, from above or a magnified cross-section, from above there appear 2 parallel lines along the length of the petiole and a raised hump between the lines. The appearance of these characteristics of the petiole, though similar to other Drosera, is unique to Drosera capillaris.
After you have flowers it will be easier to increase the certainty of an ID.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I've got some flower stalks on a couple of these, so I'll check the flowers when they open. If they are D. capillaris I assume they will be okay over the winter in the pots with the S. psittacina. I keep all my dormant plants in the garage over the winter.
