Restrepia bacchypus

Doesn't look like brachypus to me I'm more leaning towards Restrepia trichoglossa. Compare them and your plant at the site below.

Really nice.

Personally looking at the pictures I would still go with brachypus. While it has the same 'wave' in the flower as the picture of trichoglossa in Rob's link I'm not convinced that is a feature of the species, more a feature of individula flowers (other trichoglossa pictures don't have it).

The shape and colouring in the tip of the lip are more like the brachypus to my eye.

Dunno though, I'm no expert

Identification of Restrepia's is difficult at all times even with the flowers at your hand. Size colours and stripes al are not conclusive for identification. Even the key by Luer is a challenge to use as it defines a lot by sizes which vary in nature and culture.

Nice example of variations in colour on these links.

Restrepia trichoglossa
Restrepia guttulata

But looking at the brachypus I posted and where I did a deep check to identify and this flower they just don't match.

Mainly due to the length of the lip in this specimen compared to the synsepal I'm pretty sure this is something else.
