small moving green organism

Can anyone put a name to this? It's moving slowing about, back and forth, but not really going anywhere. I've seen two of these this morning in the new pond water sample. Maybe Chlorella?

It is a desmid, probably a Cosmarium species.

Okay, and thank you! A desmid, now I have to look that up and see what it's about.
