From the shadows in the photos ... was it around noon that you took the pictures? If so, or later in afternoon, it seems possible that the tan pink blend would have faded slightly. Clicking on either right-side photo looks like it shows a clear break between the green-to-yellow throat, and a light tan or pink tone. It does have a bit more rounded points than what is in the AHS database, but the overall shape, as well as the type and amount of ruffling, seem very similar. My opinion would be that it is probably Joyce Lewis.

That said, while color is such a fluid and malleable thing in daylilies, and heights/widths can vary considerably, I wonder if anyone has found that flower shape is fairly static and proportional to size? If sharp points always show up equally sharp, and never somewhat rounded, then that would lead me to question it more along that characteristic.
