I'm wondering whether this could be Thelymitra brevifolia, which has a short, broad flat leaf. Do you have a photo of the leaf? T megcalyptra has larger, more widely opening flowers with a more inflated and notched post-anther lobe

I don't have a photo of the leaf but it wasn't really long. I will see if I can find it again.

Thanks again Tobias
