I fairly sure Starman, thats how it was labeled and bears a good resemblance to other Oncidium plants, however if you have a suggestion, please enlighten me.

Dont trust labels.
I have seen Odontoglossum marked as Cambria(which is totaly wrong)
That plant doesnt look like an Oncidium, more like Odontoglossum x Oncidium or something similar.

So am I, but even they will have a hard time identifying that, as Oncidiums are bred into Odontoglossom, Miltionopsis and about another dozen or so genuses, and the resulting hybrid is complicated, and to make matters more complicated, there are hundreds of hybrids! So pin pointing down one plant is almost impossible.
I would label that as an Oncidium hybrid.
The important thing is that you like it. I confess I get too caught up in knowing names of my plants. Not that it has to be a rare or expensive name - I just like to know what it is. I'm a species snob too and prefer a nondescript Encyclia to a multicolored hybrid Catt or Onc. I'm the same with CPs and much prefer a plain S. rubra to those stunning hybrids. The only other orchid grower I know is the opposite. He wants a plant to look great and some of his can stop a person in their tracks. People can look right at some of mine and not even realize they're in bloom. But I know.
