Hi Melita, sorry its taken me so long to get back to this! I'm leaning towards C ostrina for this one too, although more close up photos of the labellum would help.

Thanks Tobias - I don't think I'll be able to get back there in time, but you're probably right. I guess I will have to wait another year to see the superb midge orchid!
