This is an early variant before they standardized on yellow.

At first I thought it was a 1929 Kreider-Reisner (Fairchild) KR-21, but the tail isn't correct for the type. Is it an earlier model? Engine does appear to be a Kinner B-5 which would be correct for the period.

You are really close in the era of biplanes, Roger.... but here is a KR21...
The wings dont taper like the 21.

I'm quite familiar with the KR-21, as we have four of them here in our area. That's why I thought it might be an earlier model than the -21.
