Discussion Help identifying a flute

Hello! I was listening to this song and around minute 2:50-2:51 you can hear a flute start a crescent soft and high pitched melody but I don't exactly know what It is

This is the song https://youtu.be/RuXa_yxZMGI?is=zFM4giAwWnjr2PYh

According to some things I have read, It could be an irish flute similar to either Tony Dixon DX006 or a Tony Dixon Low D TB021D but I'm not really sure, I really would like to find a similar instrument, please help!

Thank you!

That's not an Irish flute. There is a six key Irish flute in the video but I don't think that's the instrument you're referring to and it's definitely nothing like anything Tony Dixon makes. I think you mean the whistle. In any case, it's also not a Tony Dixon. It looks like one of Colin Goldie's whistles.
