Yes,
Maxillaria picta does have red spotting on the sepals and petals.
I thought I saw a few on the pics that Dave provided, but I looked again, and didn't see any.
Maxillaria picta does have variability in the amount of red spots there are on the flowers, so I thought it may have been
Max picta.
I'll look at photos of my
Max picta and confirm whether it is a
Max picta or a
Max porphyrostele.
Will repost later.

@ "awest" - Yes, you are correct. It is
Max porphyrostele.
The callus on the lip of
Max porphyrostele is far more pronounced compared to that of
Max picta.
So, not only is there the red spotting, you can tell the difference by the callus.
I'm also comparing pics of my
Max picta to Dave's photo, and it appears that
Max picta is a larger plant than the one in Dave's photo.
drag us some more home Dave this is fun!!
