Not the best photo to id from, but I think you are right Cath. The green somewhat upturned lateral sepals and striped petals suggests C. cornuta, although I can't make out the hairs on the labellum.

I hesitate to do this after the chaos my previous interference caused, but after looking closely at some other green clivicolas, I'm now tending back to that. Flowers are too small and not striped enough, and I'm no longer sure I can see hairs on the labellum either.

I agree Cath, I don't see any hairs on the labellum, so I am now more inclined to think it is C. clivicola. I don't recall any chaos! Also, you have been posting a lot of things but I don't recall seeing anything from today. Didn't you go out? It was nice and cool, albeit a bit damp.
