There is a basic difference between Pholidota imbricata and Pholidota pallida. The two lateral sepals are fused on the back in pallida and they are free in imbricata. If you look at the fourth picture you can see free sepals below the labellum, hence this should be imbricata. Thanks for sharing these beautiful pictures.
