Default What is this orchid's official name?

Hi all!
My aunt posted this picture on Facebook today, all it said was Grinning Monkey Orchid. When I used the google search a bunch of different ones popped up, so I am wondering what the official name is of this particular orchid? Thanks in advance!

It is a Dracula - most Draculas have a 'monkey face' - I don't think it's simia tho

I was perusing Andy's Orchids and came across a picture of this plant from this website. Here is how the website describes this plant:

Genus: Dracula Species: niesseniae Origin: Colombia: a fine orchid with beautiful contrasting flowers, clumping 6" paddle-shaped leaves, short infloresences appear from the sides of the basket, 1" blooms tilt slightly down with 2" long reddish tails, the fused tepals are triangular in shape, very finely hirsute, white and centrally spotted with dark red, tiny club-like petals are reddish-orange, minute lip is white, one of the few Draculas producing more than one open flower at a time per spike.

Here is their picture:

Looks like Dracula saulii. I did a google image search, and found a German orchid dealer with that photo on their listing for Dracula saulii.
