The Southern Tablelands Guide (ST) has 'no hump' on the lateral sepals for C. clivicola. This specimen appears to have humps. The ST also has a new species not on CNM Corunastylis rufa which does have a lateral sepal base hump.
I think this would possibly be best represented if placed in a new species, C. rufa?

Interesting..the other difference that does seem to apply is that C.clivicola would "less nodding" and upward curving labellum apex for C.rufa? This specimen is right next to some previously identified C.clivicola but I have on occasion seen individuals in that area that look more like this one. I will go through my records and take some more pictures.

Derek, do the new images at Corunastylis clivicola (Rufous midge orchid) shed any more light? I have also posted images of another specimen see Corunastylis clivicola (Rufous midge orchid) I am not so sure the features of that one line up with C.clivicola either but it does not seem to have the hump at base of lateral sepals.

Following advice and your other photos I believe any differences are just natural variation of Corunastylis clivicola.
