A neat RGB set recently came down, similar to another one previously released. It features Tethys, Mimas lit by saturnshine and another small moon at the right edge of the image, suspended in the rings.

My money is on either Epimetheus or Janus.
At the time, distance from Saturn was 2.6 million km and phase angle was around 112 degrees.

I'm pretty sure it's Janus. In fact, one of the two "Kodak moments" planned for S19 is a March 13, 2006, image very similar to the thumbnail you posted.
