Looks like a Miltonia or Miltoniopsis to me but I don't know which it might be

It is a lovely chid!

Yes, it's very beautiful! Nice find.
I also read the differences between Miltonia and Miltoniopsis that Dorothy posted and found that interesting about the foliage contrasts.
Someone once told me that the only ones that have a scent is Miltoniopsis. That's how I thought to tell the difference between the two.
