Default Unknown NoID. Miltonia??

I rescued this plant from a local collection that was left for dead a month or so ago (with owners permission of course). The plant had a spike forming but had no tag. I assumed it was just the normal Onc. NoID (yellow and brown) from the big box stores.

The bud finally opened a few days ago and to my surprise it looks more like some sort of Miltonia.

The flower measures roughly 3.25 inches tall and 3.25 inches wide. It also has a very faint floral scent. The pics don't do the flower justice. The sepals are light green and pedals are light green with dark purple spots close to the center. The lip is white with a pink blush and yellowish brown spots.(Please forgive my poor photography skills.)

If any one can help me ID this plant I would greatly appreciate it!!!

Lovely!
- likely an intergeneric hybrid - possibly Beallara (Brassia, Cochlioda, Miltonia and Odontoglossum) or Degamoara (Brassia, Miltonia and Odontoglossum) - or even Miltassia (Miltonia x Brassia) maybe ?

didn't see any images that looked just like yours - maybe someone can pinpoint better ...

It looks a lot like a Beallara but I couldn't find that exact one in OrchidWiz. It could be an un-named cross as well. Very nice tho! Nice rescue!
