I'm going to guess that this is a Sopwith Bulldog.

It is a Sopwith, but not a Bulldog... Bristol made the Bulldog.

That is a good one. It is too small to be a Bulldog anyway. Body looks closer to a Snipe except the wings are all wrong for that. My guess would have to be one of the ill fated Sopwith Snails but that is digging pretty deep into the history books as I do not believe those was ever produced apart from a few trial models.

Just to set the record straight, while Ross' picture is indeed a Sopwith Snail, the Sopwith company did make a plane called a Bulldog:

Yes they did. Note though that the wings and wing supports are quite different from the experimental Snail - a funny naming convention to be sure in that the Snail actually had an experiemental engine replacement and was hoping to have a speed advantage over the existing WWI models.
