Possibly but it might get bigger as it gets older. There's nothing similar that I can find and nobody else has a better ID.
 
I agree with Andy.
Size isn't really the issue, it's the pattern of spots and the lack of hairs.
I think there are too many other possibilities to attempt to identify it from the photos. It would be pure guesswork.
