A DNA test might or might not establish the cross (two parents), even that isn't all that likely, especially for the more complex hybrids but no test that is available could establish the exact cultivar (the part in quotes, that describe a particular plant or its clones or divisions) . Also, especially with the Oncidium group (where lots of hybrids look similar) you can go as far as "looks like" or "possibly is" or even "probably is" ... without a tag you can never be completely certain. Unless you are breeding orchids and need to have a documented pedigree, "looks like" is probably sufficient for your purposes. It is beautiful, just enjoy it! The care would be the same for any of the hybrids that are similar.
