Prerostylis falcata is found at higher altitudes in the mountains, and typically flowers November to January. Given the flowering time I would say this is either Diplodium laxum or revolutum. Laxum has a black labellum and long sepals that tend to trail out and curve fluidly. Revolutum is a bit larger, and its petals are more erect, as in your plant.

I think this might be D. laxum. The free tip of the dorsal sepal looks a bit long for revolutum. Is there any chance you could get a photo of the labellum and any leaf rosettes?

I have seen a couple of revolutum with longer tips. There are even a few on nature map, but they are pretty uncommon.

thanks for the comments, have added two photos (the nearby rosette looked to me like an orchid rosette but may not be so, the flowering stems had no discernible rosette). Found another flower and the labellum looks dark.
