I don't think that's Rhea there, it's too bright and the terrain looks like Tethys so I'm gonna go with... Tethys?
Here's a snapshot with Saturn in the frame and two other small rocks visible. Prometheus and Janus/Epimetheus in the distance?

The CICLOPS "Looking ahead" page mentions a Dione-Rhea mutual event, so it should be Rhea: "On July 18, ISS will image Dione as it passes in front of the southern half of Rhea. Dione will be 2.19 million kilometers away, while behind it Rhea will be 3.09 million kilometers from Cassini. During this transit, portions of Rhea's northern hemisphere will be obscured by Saturn's main rings." |

I stand corrected. The raw histogram stretch to overexposure in some red and green frames fooled me.
