Thinking this might be hamatus in lieu of what you have said Matt

Also in regards to what Tobias said about hamatus being more stripey than calceolus, I feel this is a better fit for hamatus. The plants in Oligochaetochilus calceolus (Bungonia Rustyhood) mostly lack the striping, and I think have shorter free-points than hamatus (if that means anything). I am more confident about that being calceolus.

Agree this one looks paler and with some more striping, but still less striping than typical hamatus. Given calceolus in area, perhaps still likely to be a pale calceolus? Would like to see this species in the flesh one day

Also, calceolus is supposed to have smaller flowers, was this a feature you noticed? Not always easy to tell, but sometimes can be quite obvious
