    I would be inclined to disagree. All of the pictures of this species i could find had 3 lobes on the bottom of the plant instead of 4 like the one above has, and the flowers were not hairy, and neither were the stems, unlike the one above.
    I think it is a Habenaria of some sort, and would agree with Kathi and Yew, because the characteristics mentioned above match the general description of Habenaria.

    Thank you all so far for the IDs. I've added some more pics (bit blurred though i'm afraid) of the whole plant and another of the flower.

    And yes, i'm definitely in agreement with Cjcorner, its is an absolute cutie.
