Default Cattleya dowiana x Laelia Pacavia
Okay, so this apparently isn't a primary hybrid. It's a cross of Cattleya dowiana and Laelia (Cattleya?) Pacavia.

I'm trying to do a better job at presenting an accurate rendering of the colors. It's hard to capture the true dark almost merlot coloration of the lip (and, oddly enough, the cheaper Canon seems to be doing a better job than the more expensive one). The scent is still great. I brought it inside so that I wouldn't risk inhaling a bumble bee.

Thanks, everyone, for your comments.

I got the plant from EBay, so I'm not sure who the hybridizer was.
