Do you have any more photos from another angle?
From this angle I believe this is Serapias parviflora

Here it is Serapias lingua for comparion:

You can see that the lateral lobe is quite enhanced and the epichile highly veined.

I'm not an expert in Serapias, and I also always have lots of doubts when I need to identify them.
