Yes, I agree, Juan. This one looks very much with Oncidium bifolium, but this is an Epiphyte, and the plant I spotted grew from the ground...

There's a great variety on Oncidium genus, so many species are very similar, I think is more "healty" to keep the identification to genus

Yes, Leuba, it is. I left it as unknown hoping that the experts can give me a closer ID.
