User's notes

The lack of reddish brown markings is a bit disconcerting, so perhaps it is something else?

I think it might be D. semilunulata (yellow form) based on the broadly rounded labellum side lobes.

Thanks Tony, I had excluded D. semilunulata based on the colouration (I didn't realise there was a yellow form) and the apparent upswept nature of the labellum side lobes which I hadn't seen in other images. Live and sometimes learn eh?
