ID for a Costa Rican orchid?
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hello, this orchid with small, beautiful (for me, I've been told otherwise) flowers is growing near my house in Costa Rica.

I have no real idea of what it could be. I would absolutely love any help or ideas!

Thank you oh so much!

Looks like an Encyclia. Don't know enough about them to guess the rest.

Taxon changed when I wasn't looking. Might still be Encyclia or it might now be Anacheilum.

Saying Encyclia made me think. Could it be some kind of Prosthechea?

Like Prosthechea livida? Or this other name, Pollardia livida?

Thank you so much for your help! :)

Prosthechea (former Pollardia) livida is probably correct, or at least close. The real test on that is the elaborate callus on the lip, which isn't clearly visible here.

Is this pic any better? The lip has a bunch of little bumps in the middle but not the edges.

Thank you! :)

Yes, that makes it pretty convincing as Prosthechea livida.
