Yeah, it is most likely Bartley Schwartz, but unless it came to you with a label, you won't know 100% for sure. Even the named clones can vary in how they look from season to season or from one grower's environment to another's.
Anyway, Bartley Schwartz (if I recall correctly) seemed to enjoy staying evenly moist, so you would perhaps water it slightly more than you would an oncidium, but you still should be careful not to over do the water. Good humidity is important to prevent leaf folding issues (accordion leaves, leaves that fail to separate from themselves and each other). It's a plant that will appreciate a bright, breezy location. You'd want to be careful to avoid full sun, which would burn the leaves, but you also wouldn't want to grow it side by side with your average phal, unless you already happen to be growing your phals on the bright side.
This is a cross that includes Miltoniopsis in the background, and your typical Miltoniopsis isn't going to do well in warm to hot conditions. Fortunately, there are enough Oncidium genes in there to make it adaptable, but you'll find it does best if you avoid extreme highs, and a good drop in temps between day and night would be good as well -- though probably not entirely necessary.
