I don't believe he ever did think Kagami was Ladybug, and if he did, it was very short-lived anyway. He was interested in Kagami in "Riposte" after she revealed herself because he wanted to figure out who she was and why losing the match made her so upset.

However, the pink filter moment was because (at least in the English version) Adrien hadn't realized that Kagami was a girl, not because he was thinking she was Ladybug. I think it was a poor stylistic choice there, especially in versions where the gender wasn't a surprise like in French, as the pink filter has only been used for romantic shots before. That's what Thomas explained it as, but because I can't find the source of his tweet where he confirms Adrien's reaction for that moment, I may be off.
