Pity the labellums have been triggered, so can't determine the species.

It's a great shot jksmits. Here's a good example of a swan greenhood: http://canberranaturemap.org/Community/Sightings/Details/26764 And here's a good example of a bicolor: http://canberranaturemap.org/Community/Sightings/Details/26745 Notice the completely different internal dark labellum part of the flowers.
