At first glance I would say clivicola. Cornuta has a bristly labellum whereas this has next to none. I think the leaf should be right up against the flowers in cornuta (or is it the other way around?) but I can't see it in your image. In cornuta the lateral sepals curve upwards like horns, whereas they are relatively flat in clivicola.

I think Matt covered it all. And yes, it is cornuta that has the leaf tip up close to the flowers.

Thanks Cath. I should really write these little bits into my guide rather than trying to remember them.
