Could this have been done by fruit flies?

This is a rescued plant, an Oncidium I believe. It's been treated with neem oil and Seven twice (about two months ago and then last week), but these "spots" persist. I can't find any trace of pests...

It's been at this spot for about 2-3 years. I live in Minnesota, and in summer I put up a screen to limit the light, and then take the screens down in winter when the sun stays low to the horizon. ...

This is a rescue plant I’ve had for about 4-5 years. It has always been small and light green in color, but its looking anemic – sun burn? I may have fertilized a little too frequently (10-10-10),...

Are these slow growers? Mine puts out a new pseudobulb about once a year. It has no bugs, no bacteria/fugus problems -it's just slow. Regular watering with somewhat drying out between, 2500-3000...

Psychopsis: sunburn, bugs or virus?

Pic 1 is the effected area, it's like the leaf "delaminated". The brown areas do not flake off, no indication of pests of any sort.

Pic 2 is the front of the leaf with the effected area outlined....
