Help Identifying Bacteria or Fungus
 

Hello,

I apologize in advance for my lack of orchid knowledge, but hopefully
this is a simple question. Can you please help me identify whether my
Orchid has Bacterial brown spot, Leaf spot fungus or neither?

Here a few pictures of the leaves:

I think it's Bacterial brown spot, but I'd like it if a trained eye
could confirm.

Thank you!

Andrew, I don't think it is bacterial. If you are in a warm/hot climate,
that may be the cause. Many of the thin-leaved oncidium intergenerics (such
as Dgmra) tend to spot their leaves under those circumstances. Onc. Sharry
Baby is the most notorious, but the principle is the same. Although the
spots mar the appearance of the plants, they do not seem to do any further
harm.

Otherwise, I'd be more like to suspect a fungus. HTH,

Tell us where you have it. How much light is it getting?

It was purchased in Hawaii but is currently residing in Maryland. It
sits near a window with very little direct sunlight each day.
