Is this a virus?

I have two pictures of the leaves of a Bulbo and one of an Oncidium. I'm wondering if these are pictures of a virus. TIA, Lisa

The first 2 pics kinda of looks like sunburn, but the 3rd pic is a different story so it's hard to be certain, has the plant been receiving alot of direct sunlight? Has the spotting in the 3rd pic migrated over to other leaves?

The first two could either be fingal or sunburn.
Most of the time fungal have a yellow ring around the infection.

I dont know about the third picture. Someone else will help you with that

The bulbo doesn't look like anything you need to be worried about. I have several that do that very thing when the leaf is...as Stitz put it "old"...and on it's way out.

The 3rd pic...hard to tell. Is it possible for you to post a clearer pic?

None of these symptoms suggest virus.
