Just a sec.
I see that yesterday there has been a lot of nice OT on SC...
this is not a chick...
approach was quite shoddy, but t/d, while not too soft, was just where it was supposed to be...
wind 253@5, rain, overcast, ceiling 3000

Indeed... just give me the type, registration or attitude.
If it is a Stampe with the Gipsy Major engine, then I would say it is the SV-4B.
Attitude could be anything, registration can't find.

Correct 
Type is actually Stampe-Vertongen SV-4A,
registration is F-BDHC and attitude is inverted
I said that to make things simpler for you, because the source of the silhouette doesn't say the model, I found it by looking for the registration.
Now if you will excuse me I have urgent matters to attend...
See you after lunch!
Thread is yours.

Go West
Used only on a few planes... among which...
the Huff-Daland HN-1 - which is not
the WACO 10-H - which is not
the Consolidated TW-3 (aerofiles reports different poweplant from wikipedia) - which is not
the Boeing NB-2 - which is not
Used only on a few planes...
This aeroplane was a one-off conversion of a previous model, of which only five were built.
The conversion was for racing.
Just seen your edit:
TW-3

Closest shapes are PT-3 and NY-2, but powerplants are wrong in both cases.
Sifted through google search, aerofiles, aviastar, airwar.ru, flightglobal and wiki but couldn't find a Consolidated-build, 180hp Wright-Hispano E radial-powered, one-off racer conversion...
