What is this little beauty?

I just found this beauty in my supermarket yesterday. The label said that it is an Intergeneric Odontoglossum Oncidium. But when I research it on the web it looks more like a Brassi. What do the experts think? It is just full of new growth and appears to be very healthy. Should I care for it like an Oncidium?

Looks very close to a Mtssa. Shelob 'Red Spider' but that is just a guess. For care I would look up Miltassia and run with that. I have a Miltassia Charles M. Fitch 'Izumi' that I grow like a catt. Good luck with it. Looks like a really nice plant.

I don't think the previous pictures that I posted do the plant justice so I am trying again. I hope both of these will be larger. I'm not very good at this picture thing.
