The first 2 pics look like C. cornuta, but the 3rd pic looks like C. clivicola.

Those are nice pictures of the flower, mcleana. I quite like the first image.
Aaron, the third could still be cornuta as the leaf is still relatively high up the stem, and the lateral sepals are curved quite a bit. It's also a little our of area, so I might wait for a second opinion (sorry Cath), but I can't see why the first two images wouldn't be cornuta.

There are other similar species of Corunastylis in that area, but this looks like cornuta to me.
