A mystery Moraea

I could use your help. A volunteer plant has shown up in a pot I obtained
from a friend, and I'm having trouble identifying it. In many ways it
resembles Moraea elsiae, which would be fantastic because that's a rare
species and I'd like to preserve it. But in some other ways it doesn't
appear to be a match. I'm wondering if maybe it's an obscure member of the
Homeria group that isn't shown in my books (or on our wiki). Or maybe it's
a Hexaglottis?
If anyone has any thoughts, please let me know.
