I agree with Helianthus mollis, what a tricky lot!

Downy Sunflower is an attractive plant, whether in or out of bloom. It can be readily distinguished from other sunflowers by the fine soft hairs that heavily cover both the leaves and stems; the broad clasping leaves; and the greater number of ray florets in the compound flowers.

I can see the downy hairs on the closeup of the leaf too.
