I think it is a “Smoke plant” Cotinus I think is the spelling of its Genus name. They come in green and red varieties and the flowers are very small and ‘smoky’ looking hence the name. I have a deep red/orange variety here and a red/greenish in Oklahoma.

Very interesting! The spots are probably much harder to see when the leaves are green. I’m with Gale: they do remind me of butterfly wings.
