There is a strong similarity between some Lycaste and Maxillaria species but this is a definitely a Maxillaria. The markings on the throat of this species seem to be variable but if these two images, which match your spot rather well are accurately identified..... http://www.flickr.com/photos/nolehace_photography/4520549465/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/54255865@N00/5903305390/

I'd say prolly a Lycaste or Maxillaria genus.... They both have a species that look alike
