Default ID help needed!!! Please

Good day to all!!! I have a good news to share with you today! .. Yesterday my unknown keiki has started to bloom for the 1st time!!! but the most disappointing thing is that I have no idea what species or hybrid is it ( I've bought this plant on E-bay from Florida.... and I 've no record of name or seller as I've only recently started to keep records of my plants... so please if you can help me with identification I will appreciate! My understanding is that if this is a hybrid it should have something with Pulchra or Lueddemanniana but maybe I'm wrong? hope this one will not be NOID forever!!! I attach Photo below!!! Very interesting lip from my view!! I like it!! thank you for your help!!!!!!

Tim! thank you very much for reply!!! My baby is really very similar to your Dtps but I'm afraid still a bit different .. maybe I'm wrong but lip is different and colour with dots as well slightly differ... so if someone will have any different point of views please help.. perhaps I'm too strict in comparing? :-(

Phal ID is near impossible and I agree that yours isn't Tim's. Yours has a much more yellow lip while Tim's has a picote to the sepals/petals....nice plant

I'm afraid I have to agree with Doc, close but no cigar. It's a beautiful flower, and NOID isn't a bad thing. I call mine "hybrid" now; for that's what they really are and seems to make me feel better.

Just enjoy it and be proud you were successful in bring it into flower.

Just a thought but since you bought this plant on ebay, could you, using the "my feedback" option, go back and perhaps find the original purchase? I doubt that any picture would still be there but you might find the vendor and maybe a description........
