I bet you that it is a ramshorn snail. I also have the mystery snails, and when I went to the store to buy more, I ended up buying the ramshorn snail that looks just how you describe. Unlike the mystery snails, the ramshorn snails are unisex, so mating and more little snails in the tank can become a problem. Here are some pictures to be sure they are ramshorn...
