2010 MSC scoop screw (not a torx)-What is it?

Hi all.
I was getting ready to remove the scoop on my 2010 MCS to fiddle with the grill on it and the screw isn't a torx like many videos say. Anyone know what it is?

Here's a pic...



Thanks for the help!

Its not a screw, its a button.
Lift the center part with a pick, the whole piece can then be removed.

No problem, MINI calls things all kind of weird terms.
