That would be Pterostylis baptistii, but unless you've got a particularly strong viewpoint on this then I think the ID is better at genus. In saying that, having grown Pt.baptisii I do agree that the leaves are a decent match, what is certain is that this belongs to the "typical" group of greenhoods.

Thanks heaps @Tapirlord - agree it's king greenhood, but will be guided by your advice to leave at genus level, sounds good.
