It's looks like no one's on to it. From Spain Sousa Mixto.

Chris, this is new to me, and I can find nothing about it on the net. (or anywhere else for that matter !)
It looks like it has Curtiss JN-4 roots, and Spain had a few of those - is it a mod ?
@lefty: there is a note in "Aviones Espanoles del siglo XX"
Sousa Mixto
Biplano biplaza de reconocimiento, con motor Hispano de 180 HP, fue diseñado por D. Luis Sousa Peco y construido en los Talleres de Aviación Militar en Cuatro Vientos. Aproximadamente una decena prestaron servicio en Marruecos en 1919-1920.

Thanks, Uli, for that link.
The older I get, it seems, the less I know !
definitely not, Mike!!
I'd like to close the door with this

Had to work backward on this. It looked remarkably like the interior of the Tillamook Air Museum... hmm, what do they have new since my last visit... aha!
Cvjetkovic CA-65 Skyfly
There's an entry in Wikipedia w/photo, no pic on the museum website.
OK, am I weird because I recognize walls of a building I haven't seen in years?

BTW, the museum website is not great but a Google/Bing image search will show how impressive the building is!

As today is the spousal b'day and thus have things to attend to, I'll open the door again

Uli, is that a Cvjetkovic CA-65?
Edit: srgalahad was faster, shouldn't have written so much.
@lefty and all: A bit more about the Sousa Mixto with Chris' picture can be found in this pdf (in Spanish) on page 33 (longer download):

Ok, let's try these biplanes.
First flight end of WW1 but too late to see action. 20 aircraft were built.
time for a cigar or two, Robert ??

Strictly no smoking on board, Uli.
My cigars were always Villigers ( ) - that takes me back a bit !
After the war most of the planes were sold to a neighbor country where they were flown until 1927.
The (European) founder of the company is legendary and associated by most people with his large passenger transporters.
It is the Zeppelin, built in Germany but flown in Switzerland.
Over to Chris.
It's an experimental from S. America
