@Zlatan, I love chasing the ID of unknown ( to me) spottings...I find it so stress busting to scroll through images....so glad the hunch was correct.

that is a nice one, I love how Morning Glory has a different color at the edges of the funnel versus the base. see this one I shot in Sri Lanka, also wrapped around a tree: https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/319510317

To my eyes looks like Ipomoea. (Morning Glory...such a wide variety) Check: Ipomoea mauritiana (the leaves match) :https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ipomoea_mauritiana_01a.JPG
