This orchid had very pale markings, but all the others had much darker markings. There were also 3 glossodia major in the same area

At first glance I thought this was just D. nigromontana with little or no markings (I have seen pure yellow forms), but the labellum doesn't look right. The usual suspect for hybrids is D. chryseopsis, and interestingly I have seen D. chryseopsis x nigromontana close to where this was found. Having said that I'm still not sure.
