Thelymitra ... ixioides?

Yes. I think this is Thelymitra ixioides as looking at the column. The white trichomes (hair tufts) and rough black and yellow column apex make me think this is T. ixioides rather than the hybrid T. x irregularis.

They range from blue to purple to pink. With and without spots. The real question is whether the ones with a perfume are different to the ones without. Or whether it is just time of day or stage of flowering that makes the difference.
