Welcome to the Orchid Board!
It's a Phalaenopsis. It is unusual in that the petals have taken on some of the shape of a lip. This is called pelorism.
There are so many hybrids produced that look very similar it is not possible to identify them any further than genus unless you have the tag. Many mass-produced plants are never named. We call them NOIDs, for No ID.
Sometimes the retail store will tell you where they buy their plants. If you pursue the chain of possession you may find the original grower. If you send a photo of the plant, and tell them where you bought it, they may be able to give you a name.

That's a peloric version of what I believe is Phalaenopsis unidentificus, otherwise known as a NoID hybrid. Commercial growers pump Phal hybrids out at an amazing pace, and unless you know who is the grower and therefore can tell you exactly what it is, you'll never know.
Does that matter? Not in my collection! First, yours is a fascinating and beautiful bloom, and second, I personally am intrigued by pelorism.

Thanks for the identification. It was mixed in with a lot of other Phalaenopsis. This was the only one like this so wasn’t sure.

I'm glad you found a name.
This brings me to a question of sorts. There are constant posts here from people who buy a plant and then ask for a name/identification. If you liked it enough to buy it then does a name matter? Why? And if you don't get a name, does THAT matter? Are you going to like the plant less? If so, then why did you waste your money buying it?
Names are utterly meaningless unless you are breeding the plant.

Was just wondering how you were able to acquire the name Golden Jaquar?
