I wonder if this could be D. pardina. It has the 'pinched' dorsal sepal and colouring of this species and the side lobes of the labellum are not particularly broad. The shape is similar in the nearby all-yellow plant (sighting 3384425) and another all-yellow plant reported previously (sighting 1947903), which could perhaps be colour variants.

I have discussed this with Cath and now tend towards calling it D. pardina.
