Default is this a spike on an oncidium?

could someone tell me if this is a spike or a new psuedobulb on this oncidium?
it is coming up between the psuedobulb and the leaf.





thanks in advance!

Looks like a new p-bulb starting. Spikes are rounder, thinner and don't look layered.

I think you have a new growth, usually spikes come right after, or while the Pseudobulbs mature. I have had spikes shoot up and flower even before the bulb was half grown.

Keep it happy and it may spike off this growth, the previous growth looks happy. Sometimes they just skip a flowering and continue growing.
