Calochilus therophilus seems more likely, although its not impossible that it is C. platychilus. Are you going by location or how do you differentiate the two?

Yes, I find it can be quite confusing when the posting date is so much more prominent than the actual sighting date.

It's something I try to be mindful of as the date is sometimes a distinguishing feature. I do agree the sighting date should be more prominent than the upload date.
