This is a Sobralia, but I do not know the name of the species. I think it could be a natural hybrid between Sobralia macrantha and S. decora. I do not know. I do not find anything similar in most 16 species reported in Nicaragua.

Are the petals still unfolded?
For an ID could it be...Sobralia macrantha var Suave ??? macrantha can be quite variable in color there are semi-albas, delicatas, ect
I can not help with the ID, but thank you for sharing the pictures. The color is very pretty.
