Yup, DPA model number UA0896.  If you need additional wind protection, there are several manufacturers that make dead rats that will fit over these specific windscreens.  Those big Shures are AWESOME to use against wind noise but don't really fit properly on the DPA 402x series of mics: screen too big, mic too small.

I use Large DPA screens+Dead Rats on my CA14s, and the bigass shures on my mk41's ;)

This exactly.  I rarely need the Dead Rats.  The DPA's have done the trick in all of my wind situations.  Rats would be needed for heavier wind imo, near water for example.
