What a wonderful picture!

Does someone know what the body is (re. the picture of E-ring) that is located at 9 o'clock and about half picture width from Enceladus?

As per this image http://pds-rings.seti.org/saturn/images/ring_sat.gif from NinePlanets website (oops EightPlanets now) I believe it is either the moon Tethys or Dione.
