I think it may be the Bloch MB-81 ??
Although there is reference to the MB.81 having a closed cockpit, that does not appear to be the case as there are photo's of different aircraft all having open cockpits. 
Incidentally this was Bloch's first production aircraft, 20 having been built, including one used by the RAF.

I looked at all the Fourniers, but there appear to be several differences... The transparency curve, springing of the outriggers, pitot probe (?) and fin profile being just a few...!
That said, there's the usual orientation problem..!

Fournier RF4?
I think the indentation on the rudder is either a deflection or a distortion of the original photo itself. In a 3-view I have just found, the trailing edge is straight.
Edit to say, having found a further photo I can confirm there is no indentation and it cannot be rudder deflection in that position, so I have replaced the silhouette with the indentation removed.

RF1!
(took a bit of finding and I strongly advise you not to do an image search under 'Fournier'... Another M. Fournier gave his name to a very unfortunate form of gangrene...).
