Sure is. It's the T.8-L which was ordered by the Finnish but before it could be delivered was taken over by the Luftwaffe.

Over to you mexichiwa.  :)

It looks like a Curtiss Jenny … with those Russian markings, she's very interesting.  :)

Your correct! It is the Classic Jenny, BUT its not Russian.
It is the First ever "roundel insignia" used by the United States of America - a Red Star ! ;)

" Eight JN-3s equipped the 1st Aero Squadron when Captain Foulois led it into Mexico in March 1916 as part
of Brig. Gen. John J. Pershing’s punitive expedition against Pancho Villa. In contrast to the agile fighters then
in combat over Europe, the JN-3’s role was primarily observation and communication.
However, the squadron did conduct some experiments in bombardment and the use of machine guns.
The JN-3s were still underpowered and unable to climb over Mexico’s Sierra Madres.
Due to various mishaps and frustrations over aircraft, logistics and other problems, Foulois left the 1st Aero in
September 1916. "
