Yeah, that's ie palludosus, what i thought when i took images, only later when they where on the big screen did I become confused about id.

Yes this is C. paludosus, the smaller sham face, sparse coarse hairs on central labellum and its hairless tail but I think the the side lobes on the column important features in this identification.
