These were very close to each other. I assume the same species despite differences in colour ?

I think these are both C. fuscata which can vary in colour from white to dark pink. The pinker flower has suffered some insect damage with the dorsal sepal eaten. With these small pink orchids it is helpful if you can also show the stem as it is important in determining the different species.
