Not sure about this; D. behrii is usually more orange.

I have almost no experience with identifying orchids (true confessions). This was the closest I came with the resources I have.

To me it looks more like D. chryseopsis, but a bit late for that species to be flowering.

I've confirmed this as D. behrii, although I am not 100% certain so would welcome other views.
