I have added a third photo. This plant was amongst the the other plants, but is noticeably greener.
Is this just a colour variation of C testacy?

These are not C. cucullata which have a lebellum sidelobe with the margin basicly entire, these margins with purple teeth. My first thought was C. hildae but I am not sure it is in that area so it may be C. testacea. I will need a little more time to be sure.
