Is this black scale or fungal spores on my Brassocattleya Maikai Louise?

[AndreaK]

I have found three of these black spots on my orchid. They look similar to black scale, but are very rounded in shape. They also remind me of Bird's nest fungal spores in appearance. They are adhered tightly to the leaves. When removed and smashed between finger nails, they seem very waxy in substance and appear to be kind of reddish brown in coloration. Any identification ideas and treatment suggestions would be appreciated.
