The think to bear in mind is "is the person who posted the photo in your link 100% sure of the ID". If you don't know them you can't be certain, and therefore without being an expert yourself you can't be certain of the ID on yours.
Also is there a feature which cannot be seen in that photo which is key to the distinction and ID of the plant.
If it were my plant I would tag it as 'C. lueddemanniana?' and if ever posting pictures online I would always make it clear that I was not certain of the ID, or just say that it was a 'lueddemanniana like' orchid.
Remember, if you post your pictures with the name lueddemanniana in the future then someone else could do like you and look at the picture and think "that's exactly what mine looks like" and yet yours is not 100% certain.
I always name and tag all my orchids, because like you I just want to start my collection "the right way". However the responsible thing to do is to always put a marker on the tag to remember the ID is not 100% and to make sure you state that when displaying the plant or pictures of the plant.
