I see on ALA there are Caladenia tentaculata recorded nearby, rather than Caladenia atrovespa...

Misapplication of the modern circumscription of C.tentaculata which is more or less excluded to Victoria. There are some NSW records but they are on the far-south coast near gippsland. We have C.atrovespa and C.parva regionally.

Hard to judge flower size from photo, but wondering if this isn't C parva with those brownish sepal clubs?

@TobiasHayashi don't they both have clubs, and aren't the club's more pronounced in C. parva?

Yes. The clubs are moderately prominent and brownish on this plant, but may be one of those intermediate ones that are difficult to distinguish.

I don't have a hugely strong view either way, this looked on the larger side to me so I went with atrovespa. Happy to call this C.parva
