Identify plane please

Yesterday I saw this plane land at the Lake Hood dirt strip. Does anyone know what type it is? I am just curious on account of the unusual appearance.

I'm really enjoying your random Alaskan aviation photos. They're fun and I hope you keep them coming.

Thanks everyone for the information. The photo at airliners.net is dead on (shot from the same airport).

This forum is a great place to learn. Usually we see a lot of Cubs, Super Cubs, C185, C206 and the occasional Beaver or Otter (charters).
