It doesn't look like a pure Renanthera matutina which has the same color but known for it horizontal pointed petals. It could not be Ren. monachica which is yellow background with red spots also very small and has a pointed petal. It looks to me a hybrid like Ren. Tom Thumb, Ren. Rattanakosin or Ren Tan Keong Choon.

Thanks, Ramon.
The background is yellowish, but not a pure yellow. If I recall correctly, it was said to be wild-collected.
 
Monachica would be my guess but on the red side...usually a bit more orange in my experience.

One of my fav plants...simply stunning colours.
 
I had a monachica and it was more yellow with red spotting. And the flowers were a tad smaller. Sadly, I killed it.
