Default indentify volunteer flower?

It looks like campanula rampunculoides to me too. If that is the case,
ERADICATE ERADICATE ERADICATE!
Its nickname is "cancer of the garden", because it spreads from the tiniest
fragment of root when you attempt to pull it up. The main root is a long
white root, something like a small parsnip - but it will send out long
exploratory fibrous roots in any direction to shoot up another stalk.
