A bit different scenario as what has been described, but yes - if you can not identify your ball, it is considered lost.
But, he is asking if you can move/touch/lift the ball to attempt to identify that it is yours.
Also, you can not touch the ball in a hazzard to try to identify it (i.e. inside the stakes on the edge of a water hazzard with high grass/weeds). You must play the ball and once it is out of the hazzard, then you can identify it.
