Definitely Pycnoporus sp., a type of Cinnabar Polypore.

I'm not highly familiar with Pycnoporus species in your area, so I'm not sure if I can get you a species level ID.

The Cinnabar Bracket

"Pycnoporus sanguineus" is a white rot saprobic fungus. It was discovered on Guana Island but occurs throughout the tropics and subtropics, usually growing on dead hardwoods. It grows in the form of a thin dry conk with a lateral attachment to its substrate, or sometimes a very short stipe.
