Found this today on a passion flower leaf. I have seen a Gulf Fritillary around this plant in the past two weeks.
Only reference I could find so far:

The Gulf fritillary

The Gulf fritillary or passion butterfly is a bright orange butterfly of the family Nymphalidae and subfamily Heliconiinae. It was formerly classified in a separate family, the Heliconiidae or longwing butterflies, and like other longwings this species does have long, rather narrow wings in comparison with other butterflies.
