Not exactly sure what it is, but I don't think your flower is Bc Yellow Bird.
B nodosa x L milleri was registered as Bl Richard Mueller.
In 1990, we registered the cross of Bl Richard Mueller x B nodosa as Bl Yellow Bird. Bl Yellow Bird has the elongated trumpet shaped lip of B nodosa. Nearly always, the lip also has reddish speckling like Bl Richard Mueller. Your flower has no speckling, but more tellingly, it doesn't have that elongated lip.
Since Laelia milleri was reclassified as Cattleya milleri, Bl Richard Mueller now becomes Bc Richard Mueller and Bl Yellow Bird is now Bc Yellow Bird.
After saying what your flower is NOT, it's not really possible to say for certain what your flower IS. However, your flower really resembles Bc Sunny Delight (B perrinii x C aurantiaca). However, your plant looks like Brassavola, but too stocky for Bc Sunny Delight. So maybe B nodosa or B cordata is in the mix to make the plant more stocky.
(Sometimes I like to play plant detective ... if I know something about the plants)
