Default Cattleya NOID

This a bifoliate Cattleya (that I earned some years ago in bad conditions) blooming at same time of Cattleya Portia.
The flowers are bigger than C. Portia ones, the general aspect and buds (showed in another division) are similar (the yellow spots in the leaves are mancozeb).
May be C. skinneri, C. bowringiana or - much more probably - a related hybrid (C. Fabia, C. Fabiata....).
Some one guess?

I looks very much like the one I saw on a Tree in Hollywood Fl. Most people seem to think it is a C. skinneri

I also posted these pics in a brazilian orchids group, and recived some guesses:
"for sure is a C. Portia 'Gloriosa'"
"one thing I am sure: this is not a C. Portia!"
So, it remains NOID...beautiful and long lasting flowers (> 3 weeks, temp. ~ 30ºC!), but NOID!

It's beautiful! Sorry, I can't help you with ID, but it is definitely not skinnery.
