Looks like the long head of the tricep. What you could to is horizontal sideways tricep extensions on the cable machine and feel if it is the correct muscle that is working.

Long head.
These lifts will work it the most effectively:
Behind the head dumbbell ext
Behind the head barbell/ez-curl ext
Reverse grip bench press

I Feel myself working that more doing tricep pushdowns with a rope and flare the rope out at the bottom instead of pushing/pulling straight down.

The long head of the tricep assists with the adduction of the upper arm, so doing an exercise such as the dumbbell kickback; by bringing the upper arm closer towards the body while extending the elbow will engage it.
