Most likely to be T. pauciflora, but like most sun orchids I require a detailed side and front view of the labellum, and an image of the leaf showing the length and channeling/ribbing.

Post anther lobe looks pretty deeply notched, could be peniculata?

Thanks Matt and Tobias. Next time I'll have to take a picture of the leaf.
