Received this orchid for free- any ideas?

I've been interested in orchids recently and today I finally went out to the grocery store to get my first one. I chatted with the flower clerk a bit while I looked. They were all nice but generic white or white/purple phalaenopsis, except one unlabeled display specimen shoved into a deep vase. I asked what kind it was and she said she didn't know, but it was getting too old to sell. If I could turn it around, she said she'd give it to me for free. I bought a little ceramic mushroom to go with one of my succulents and walked out with the best orchid in the store! I absolutely love the blooms, they remind me of a red Japanese maple.
Based on what I can find I think it might be a mini cattleya? I'm a little worried about the roots because it was wrapped in plastic for who knows how long. Would care tips go here or in a different thread?
Photos attached.

It's in the Oncidium tribe. Might be a Wilsonara or some other hybrid. Bright light, keep it fairly moist as a general rule. When it's done blooming, tip it out to see how the roots look, pot in moss mix or small bark.

Thank you!

Yep, an oncidium. My first orchid was an oncidium. I can understand why you think it is the best.

Yes, it's an Oncidium intergeneric hybrid, similar to Oncostele Pacific Sun Spot. (There are other hybrids that look similar, so this is not an exact identification).

Several similar. My Wilsonara Gay Spice "Electric Orange" is a close match too.
