Looks like Linguella (Pterostylis nana). Generally a common and widespread orchid, but this would only be the third location I know of within Canberra, the others being Black Mountain and the Pinnacle. I believe there was also a record from Mt Jerrabomberra last year. Nice find!

Discounting national distribution and abundance this is probably one of the rarest orchids in the ACT, or at least the most underreported and least encountered. So definitely a very nice find for the ACT.
