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.

They are telling you to start your collection "the right way" if it doesn't have a tag you call it a NOid. There is nothing wrong with having a NOid the only reason you need a name is to show or reproduce and that is where the trouble begins.

I was upset when I was first told I had a NOid, but now that I have learned more and my collection has grown I realize the important of what they are saying. We all have several NOids and are proud of them and rally when they flower.

Thanks Carol and Rosie...
That's the kind of input that I was expecting. But when I read the "taxonomist" thing, I was like: "what..?" This is way too technical...
I like the idea of Rosie (identify that isn't 100% sure) and the simplicity of the answer of Carol (just tag it as noid and that's it, that's not wrong...) hahaha
Now, I know the other answers and help are right (technically), it's only that I'll just be satisfied with a more simple answer.
Thanks to all anyway.
I've decided to tag it as a Noid.
