Django - Render the <label> of a single form field

I'm selectively rendering fields on a form.

class SomeForm(forms.Form):
    foo = forms.ChoiceField(label='Some Foo', ...)
    bar = forms.BooleanField(label='Some Bar', ...)
    ...

I've got a custom tag that, based on some other logic, lets me iterate over the fields of the form that I need using the FIELD context variable in the tag:

{% fieldsineed %}
  {% if FIELD.field.widget|klass == "CheckboxInput" %}
    <li>{{ FIELD }} {{ FIELD.field.label }}</li>
  {% else %}
    <li>{{ FIELD.label }}: {{ FIELD }}</li>
  {% endif %}
{% endfieldsineed %}

(klass is a filter I got from here which returns the class name of the filtered value.)

Unfortunately, FIELD.label is only a string. Is there an easy way to render a <label> tag for a given form field?

You can also do

class SomeForm(forms.Form):
    foo = forms.ChoiceField(label='Some Foo', ...)
    bar = forms.BooleanField(label='Some Bar', ...)

You can render form like:

 <div class="col-12">
        <div class="mb-3">
          {{ form.foo.label }}
          {{ form.foo}}
        </div> 
     </div>

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/#s-looping-over-the-form-s-fields

Shows you can do 

{{ FIELD.label_tag }}

Should render something like

<label for="id_fieldName">Fieldlabel:</label>
