Smile orchid identification please, odontoglossum or oncidium?

I bought this orchid for $ 7.99 at Trader Joe today. The lable said it is a oncidium but no name. the flower looks like odontoglossum orchid to me . I am new to this kind of orchid. Could any one tell me what kind of orchid it is? (odontoglossum or oncidium or hybrid?)
Does it need bright light? humid? cool or hot( what tempertature range it like)? Could I leave it outdoor under shade of tree all year round ( I live in los Angeles),
how long the bloom will last normally?
thank in advance

it's likely an Oncidium alliance inter-generic hybrid - likely with Odontoglossum in the mix ...
I grow my Onc inter-generics cool - warm - short periods of hot temps
moderate light, do not allow to dry out completely.
I am sure bloom duration may vary on the individual plant, but I would expect 4 - 8 weeks

Definitely an intergeneric hybrid combining Oncidium, Odontoglossum and Miltonia, and possibly other genera too. There are so many similar hybrids, all showing a great deal of variability, that making a positive identification is improbable.

thanks, I knew it will not be possible to identify the name. I only need to know how to take care of it and learn from all the experts on this orchid board.
