Is This An Epidendrum Species?

Or something else? Western Cordillera near Cali, Colombia at 2100m.

Certainly looks like an Epidendrum. Epi. lacustre has this growth habit, with leaves that capture the rainfall and a cluster of star-shaped flowers arising from the center of the growth, but there are many others that are related with similar growth habit

Thank you for that. Difficult to pin down with just photos I guess. Here's one with a closer view of the flower.

Also, there are a lot of Epidendrums that look similar. I have Epi. lacustre Panama form (with a lot of purple) but the more common form is from Ecuador and Colombia, white and green flowers... I was looking at the pattern of the inflorescence and leaves. I am sure that there are others on the forum with a lot more expertise than I have.
