Weird Seedling

Racine, WI

Hello to all! I recently purchase some morning glory seeds online. They are supposedly 'black' in color. All the seedlings look pretty standard, however, something came up that does not belong. It's structure looks like a morning glory, but its leaves are quite different. You can see the normal looking one and the weird one in my picture. I don't think its a weed. Anybody got any ideas?

That looks like a cypress vine seedling. It is an Ipomoea sp.

tbonewap - The seedling in the center with the thin elongated cotyledons is an Ipomoea quamoclit as hill5422 mentioned and shown here

The cotyledon with the still very small first true leave visible to the right is in all likelihood one of the following species

Let's see how the plant develops as the shape of the true leaves is a helpful aid in ascertaining the actual species ID...
