Looks like a military version of a de-militarised Sunderland  But which one ?

[sniperton]

For me it's more like the Sikorsky VS-44 (position of the vertical stabilizer), but I can't positively identify as such.

It reminds me of a 44 - either VS-44 or Tupolev ANT-44, but I don't think it's either.  PB2Y prototype? (with fixed floats?)

Sikorsky XPBS-1

The aircraft that spawned the VS-44

Yep, the pattern/placing of the windows on the fuselage supports your solution. Still I can't identify the photo.

[P51vsFw190]

But I can.

The original photo can be seen behind glass located below the nose of the VS-44 Excambian here at the New England Air Museum. It was taken during the first taxi trials of the aircraft in Long Island Sound just south of Stratford, Connecticut.

Lucky you, but wait off until LameHawk gives you the baton. Until then prepare to drive us mad again 

[LameHawk]

Yep, P51.
You are absolutely right 

Your turn it is

[P51vsFw190]

Yay!

Alright, try this one:
