The shape looks like a Kingfisher. Flip Colmer a former Navy pilot who now flies for Delta also with Bentprop reaches for the book Floatplanes in Action

The Kingfisher O'brien explains was flown typically for observation and to rescue downed pilots. If they were in this deep it would have been on a risky endeavor.

Bentprop knew that two Kingfishers on reconnaissance missions had disappeared during the war and the western lagoon seemed the most likely location for them to have ended up.

Well it's not a Kingfisher he says. After descending to the plane O'brien noticed that the windscreen on the cockpit was located behind the wing.

In Kingfishers it was situated in front. He'd also detected a subtle distinction in the shape of the fuselage near the tail.
