Default Dendrobium Sonia Earsakul

Can anyone confirm whether my Dendrobium Sonia Earsakul is a Phalaenopsis or Nobile? I can't find info anywhere on this orchid.
Thanks

It means that it is a mericlone. Earsakul was the name given to that clone, while Sonia was the name given to the cross

Does it help if I say that sonia is the name for the hybrid?
Sonia is (Caesar x Tomie Drake)
We register hybrid names to make life simplier because some plants were bred through many generations. The name is also referred to as a grex name
