Pterostylis acuminata? Beresfield, about 20 km north-west of Newcastle, New South Wales

Am having trouble identifying the species. It seems to be quite common here, especially in shady forest floor beneath a subcanopy of Melaleuca nodosa in the shallow floodways.

I think now it must be Pterostylis acuminata, though the flowers seemed slightly larger than I recall seeing before in that species.
