Hi Cath B, thanks for your ID. I have now added a 4th and better photo and wonder if this will enable you to make a sp. id?

Thanks Barrie. I can now see just enough of the labellum appendage to be pretty sure it's H. cycnocephalus. That darker appendage at the base of the labellum is what you need to see for a species ID.
