With dan.clark, flower structure a bit hard to see in the photos but there was an ant that was carrying pollinia so am headging my bet on the ID suggestion.

I am basing my determination on the heart-shaped labellum. The ant is free to comment if it disagrees.

Thanks for the ID Matt, I'm glad you were able to decipher the shape of the labellum from my photo. I'm sure the ant is happy too!
