I think it may be the Bloch MB-81 ??

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...).
