The great Graeme can't be wrong...but I'm nevertheless surprised this time identification took a tad longer...

I've seen very similar types in the past but wouldn't dare to guess...

Yes. But a bit different. Why and when?

I'm thinking perhaps Dutch built by Fokker 1939

No. Other country, few years later

After my post #3686 I made some research and I was also going to answer Arado AR196A but Herman got there first.
The main difference I can see on your pic between the original A/c and the image is that the engine cowling looks very different. The original version had "bugnature" (blisters) on it (as you can see for instance on various italian fighters of the thirties and forties) and yours has none this means that a different engine requiring a different cowling must have been used.
At this stage I would say: a roumanian or bulgarian version (not german, finnish or norwegian in my opinion).

None of these.
For making easy... Such type of the cowl was used in very well-known mono- and bi-plane fighters of the very well-known designer.

Hmm, maybe a russian design?

Yes. This is the captured Ar-196A with soviet ASh-62IR engine. From soviet maritime border guard unit.

A liaison-observer aircraft, air intake looks Caudron...ish. French?

Tzaw1 · Sep 7, 2009

Observer, but not French. Very far from France.
