that is sun burn. I believe that is a strap leave vanda, which is lower light than dendrobium and cattleya. So have a shade netting over the plant will help. it will not reverse the situation but will prevent any future burn. As the sun light is shifting direction, it is possible that you have been caught off guard.

Looks like what happened to my vanda. Usually, sunburn leaves a patch of dead tissue that dries up and becomes "paper thin." However, sometimes, a secondary infection can take place on the damaged tissue, causing the burn spot to turn brown (and mushy). In this case, you need a fungicide. But overall, don't worry too much, just be careful in the future.
