Not sure, probably B. umbrinus, although could be B. montanus (but that flowers later). Need a second opinion.

Great sighting! Like Tony I'm not quite sure...in some respects it lookslike montanus but the lateral sepals are fairly long which is more in favour of umbrinus as is the early flowering time. But then again there aren't many records of umbrinus from Namadgi area. I think a square head-on shot of the flower to get an idea of labellum shape and colour and lateral sepal shape is required.
