Hello Leedseagle,

This isn't a B737 it's the FIRST ERJ170 from BA G-LYCD
You are lucky :)

Negtive, that's an A320. Check the fuselage exhaust and wingtips, they don't match an E170 ;)

Hello,

If you look to the nose that one is really pointy and at the back by the tail under it is also very pointy. By the A320 it's more a circle .
Let the best win !!! :)

Indeed it's an A320. The ERJ170 looks a bit different, f.e. with a larger upward wingets and straighter shape of tail. According a picture of Cityflyers sole operating ERJ a/c G-LCYD, the tail cone is also painted silver.

Just look at the paint scheme at the tail exhaust...it is not G-LYCD
