It is impossible to ID a Cattleya (and most orchids) from a photo. The same two parents of this hybrid can produce other colors.

a x b can be this color or yellow. You would think they were two different orchids from the photo but they would be the same.

A less drastic example is the following orchid photo grouping



Note that the 8/28 photos had two different colors on the same plant on the same day. I have had this plant for years it is not two plants in one pot.
