This really looks like Restrepia guttulata but a clearer shot of the lip
would help. Specific Restrepia species can vary tremendously in color, size
and patterning but it is largely the lip shape/size/length that is used to
determine the species. It is a pretty good bet that there are folks on the
list with Luer's greenbook at hand that could make the call.

Marc,
Thank you for your response! Yes, it is Restrepia. The tag said that it was
Species form Columbia. This is a large flower (2") coming from under the
base of the leaf and held slightly above. The inflorescence is about 3"
long. I have pictures of the flower and plant linked below. It's a very long
lasting flower and there are a few buds left to open. I can get some decent
macro shots of the lip area, I just haven't done that yet.
Thank you again!
