Would anyone happen to know what this is on a zygonisia?

Thanks!

If it’s getting a lot of light, it could be freckling. My cattleyas freckle up nicely under the growlights.

If it’s not under intense light, you might be looking at a fungal, bacterial or viral infection. I would quarantine it and watch to see if it spreads or gets worse. Look for yellowing, spots that look wet or seeping, or necrotic tissue.

Hard to tell from the pic, but are the spots indented like pitting on the leaf? Or is the leaf smooth, and they are just spots?

It seems to be a mixture of both, though they are primarily smooth.
