Unsure if this is an orchid - perhaps leek?

This is a species of orchid typically found in boggy areas. It is a type of spiral orchid, Spiranthes. Unfortunately I am not familiar enough with them to distinguish the different species. I think it might be S. australis based on location.

Thank you. The orchid was in an area that retains water - especially after the rain
