Growing next to similar but pink orchid, T. carnea?

I think this and the other plant are the same species, but I need an image of the leaf and a clear side on of the flower to ID them.

I’ve added another photo of this one, the leaf is in focus

Possibly Thelymitra pauciflora. I saw something similar the other day, but I wasn't convinced it was pauciflora. I will come back to these if I can ever ID them.
