mini orchid ID (Pleurothallis or Pleurothallid?)
Default

Yep, looks like a pleurothallid (s.l.). I would not discount Stelis, Masdevallia. Some species may be looking like your specimen. Fortunately, pretty easy to distinguish once they flower.

Re flowering, some are easy, some hard, and given that it is a no ID, culture conditions are anybody's guess. A number of pleuros take a surprising amount of light. I currently have a Barbosella covered in flowers after I moved it to the very top of my GH. Trichosalpinx also requires high light and very moist to flower. Your plant is quite certainly neither of those. Even Pleuro. grobyi flowers in abundance once exposed to sufficient light. So despite the assumption of shade for pleuros, that does not always apply.
