Hi Thomas
Great pic and a wonderful Telipogon
But I can´t help with ID . I´ve had a look in my book of Peru species , but your´s isn´t in this guide .
Cant help with the ID, but this is beautiful. Oh and nice shot of that eye.
I have a book and did some checking.It may be Telipogon ariasii , Epiphytic in cloud forest,ca2800m(9250 ft.) I hope this helped ??? Good Luck,Rich

I am leaning a little toward T. aureus. Here it is thanks to Jay Pfahl and his Orchid Encyclopedia.

Hard to tell for sure, environment, growing conditions, etc....
Thanks for the comments and suggestions! You're the best!
That is really cool. I love the close up of the 'hook'!
Cheers,
