Larger, more lemon yellow flowers with double spots on dorsal sepal and more diamond shaped labellum point towards sulphurea here

Now I am thoroughly confused. There were more of these than any other orchid and I thought they were the D. nigromontana!

Where they grow together, the nigromontana tend to flower earlier, so most Diuris on black mountain in early October are nigromontana, but by November the sulphurea is starting to be more dominant
