Dear Sir

May I know on what basis please?

1. Do you see callus on the lip? in microchilos that callus is supposed to be confined towards the base, here you see they are almost till the apex (a character of filiformis)

2. I see some glandular hairs or exudations shining on the petal and sepal margin - character of filiformis

But of course you have the plant in hand and I dont. So I can only assume.

Best regards

Pankaj
