I agree with what everyone has said about how difficult/impossible it is to identify untagged plants (noids). However I am quite sure that the plant in question here is a Cattleya bowringiana hybrid, possibly a primary hybrid. The lip configuration makes me think it is not a species (although it is possible this is simply a pale-lipped one), but the flowering habit and flower form do indicate very strong bowringiana influence.
