This is the problem with Oberonia. You cant make out if the plant is juvenile and flowering or its a mature plant, because all of them flower very nicely irrespective of their age.
If I had to through a guess, then I would say josephii because the side lobes of the labellum is clrealy overarching one another with two font lobes with a gap in middle.
Best regards
Pankaj

This is complicated. Based on the lateral lobes of lip coming over and overlapping, narrow petals, base of inflorescence inflated, I think this is Oberonia josephi.
Nice find. Endemic to south India.
