What aircraft is this? The winglet size is stumping me.

It’s an A380. The image is reversed but it’s from Air France Flight 66, 20 Sept 2017. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France_Flight_66
The winglet is actually a wing fence which protrudes above and below the wing on the A380. Compared with the winglets which are above the wing only on the A340.
Note the vertical section on the trailing edge of the fence in the image which doesn’t occur on the 340 and that the leading edge doesn’t start at the wing leading edge but about halfway along the chord which is a feature of the 380’s fences.
Sorry for the excess geekery but I worked on the A340-600 development a few decades ago![]()
