It's a open biplane with two seats and distinctive tail. Use something else than Aerofiles Search.

Thanks LM. in fact there are quite a lot of biplanes with that kind of tail. But the Lincoln/Lincoln-Page range was my initial thought, so looked it up in a book and there it was. If it hadn't been a Lincoln I would have been in Aerofiles search mode.

I know I've seen it before, and if I'm correct, all is not what it seems.

Would it be an amphibian?

Yes

You may be thinking of something else? Fairly much a standard Amphibian I think.

Not too sure about this, but maybe Hungarian.

Similar to Hydropteron amphibian.

Deleted my post.
Plainly ridiculous, I just focused on the bulging thing and forgot the winglets and a couple other details. Was searching for similar aircrafts through wiki (and already had the right tab open) but you anticipated me
