Default Wild Garlic

I've Googled for pics and I'm not sure it is wild garlic. I saw biggish
plants with wide flat leaves and white star flowers.
The plant is more like snowdrop size, with a white snowdrop size flower
and has a very strong garlic smell. It is growing like a carpet in an
adjacent wooded area.


Is it this:

I don't think it is that as it doesn't have as many flower heads per stem.
Full height is no more than a snow drop and leaves no more than 10mm wide.
The bulbs are comparable to snowdrops but probably smaller.
It grows a lot faster and is more promiscous (?) than snowdrops and seems
to like my lawn.

I'll have to take a photo and post in online somewhere.

Thanks.
