Thanks Matti, I'll go with Cyrtochilum for now, it looks the most likely.

Some Cyrtochilum probably, perhaps not far from examinans, flexuosum or exasperatum. To be honest, the Oncidium relatives really confuse me, I can't tell the genera apart and have no idea what is the best name to apply to them.
