Unusual. Not the right colour or markings for semilunulata.

I think this might be a hybrid. Diuris semilunulata X ???

Hybrid, agree with Semilunulata. I reckon sulphurea as the other parents

@MattM @Tapirlord exactly what Tobias said, semilunulata x sulphurea. Those are really the only two candidates here, so it seems likely. Interesting to have two identical hybrid plants!
