I think I should not use more the same photo as wikipedia ... ::(

Nooooo, please, it's the only ones I can get! :D :D :D

Anyway, if it's any consolation, my first thought was a hybrid Yak, like the Yak 3RD; as a matter of fact, I stumbled upon it while searching for "yak mixed propulsion"! ;)

Anyway, here's my entry... I'm afraid it will be an easy one.

The airframe could also belong to a Storch or a Criquet. The strange thing is the engine.  :-[

Well done, Lamehawk, it is, indeed, the Hawk Moth.

I hoped the vague similarity with the Fi-156 could throw someone off track, looks like it did! :)

The engine is the DH Ghost. I simply flipped the image vertically, and that was enough to confuse Google reverse image search.

From "Flight", February 7th, 1929: https://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1929/1929%20-%200243.html

Your turn, Lamehawk!

You mean the bat-like shape of the mobile surfaces on the wing?
