I would assume A. exsertus, but I don’t think there is enough to go on from these photos. Interestingly it looks like your flower has been damaged to expose all the pollinia.

I'm leaning towards A pusillus, it does seem tiny but agree with Matt perhaps hard to be sure. Looks like a bit of a mutant flower
