For all I can see here it might be coffee?

Okay, sure. That's as likely an ID as any, but few
details are visible in the photo.

Yes it is just an educated guess. Could be something else entirely. Still,
coffee is betting with the odds?

Don't think so,

Well, you may be right, of course. Certainly _some_ common
Erythrina species do look quite different from this one,
but the photo reminded me especially of Erythrina crista-galli:

it looks like the other one, with a name like lobster's claw
or something like it

Clianthus? I think those are shrubby climbers

with very different foliage from that shown in the photo
[which instead strongly resembles Erythrina's]

You build a pretty good case. Likely you are right. However the picture does
not really allow certainty if the leaf and the flowers belong together, and
could be clearer as to flower shape (or color).

Erythrina crista-galli is certainly the best know species.

On another note: this is an interesting species since most Erythrina species
in South America are bird pollinated (two groups of Erythrina; two groups of
birds). Erythrina crista-galli occurs so far south that tropical birds don't
follow, and is bee pollinated.
