An attractive green hood, unusual in being slender and the flowers almost translucent.

It's a bit hard to tell without a front view of an open flower. If you are able to visit the site again and upload some more images, that would be greatly appreciated.
I suspect this is Bunochilus umbrinus (Prerostylis umbrina). Since the guides have been published, B. umbrinus has been found on a few of the slopes outside of their Black Mountain stronghold.

Agree looks like P. umbrina rather than related species, but as Matt says a front of shot of the labellum would clinch it.
