Help ID Unknown Variegated Colocasia

I purchased this unknown colocasia recently at a local nursery. It was among a group labeled as C. Diamond Head and C. Maui Magic, but didn't look like either and this pot was not labeled. It has dark red stems (one is visible above the leaf in the photo). Some of the older leaves are the typical half-dark, half-light colored, and the lighter portions were dried up, so I wonder if it is sensitive to too much sun. I find the combination of colors (black and green-gold) unique among colocasias I have seen. Has anyone seen a plant like this one and can you provide any info about its origin? Thanks.
