Guessing game - spike or root?

[Aerial]

Hi everyone! I don't post much, but lurk and learn often.

Anyway, one of my favorite (I think. Actually, I love them all!) orchids has something emerging from it, and I thought I would post a picture and have you guys guess whether it's a root or spike.

Maybe some of you more knowledgeable people will be able to tell me for sure, but if you don't know, take a wild guess.

Of course, I'm hoping for a spike--I got it last May--but roots are always good, too. But I'm REALLY hoping for a spike!!

ETA: hmmm...still not working. Will try another post.
