I would need a specimen and the key to confidently ID this orchid.

That could be difficult until the new season

Yep, in contrast to my earlier comments about backing off on your photos, for orchids, especially small flowered ones like Prasos, you need a close up of a few flowers, getting some front-on and some side-on. Still may not be identifiable with confidence, but it's a better start than this shot.

'Fraid you have to take that 400mm off Charles to get a good close up of the labellum! Very likely to be P. elatum.
