Without photos of at least the leaves, but preferably also a macro shot showing the hairs on the stems (using eg a macro app on your phone) and a photo of the back of a flower showing the calyx, I would not really be happy to call it other than Swainsona sp.
If it is Hovea, you need a photo of the whole plant, which in heteroohylla often has broader leaves towards the base, and narrower leaves higher up.

I can see the calyx and I think this description from Plantnet best describes it:
calyces, etc. brown, silvery brown or grey-brown, hairs straight, appressed, antrorse.
