The PT-13 was powered by the Lycoming R-680. The PT-17 is more common but maybe its one of the earlier models. R-680 is a nine cylinder.

Silverwings makes a 1/32 scale Stearman kit that makes the Revell kit look like a toy.
Google image N16RS for a photo of a sharp Starduster II.
My Uncle and Grandpa built a Lycoming 200 hp 6 cylinder powered Starduster II in the 1970's. Picture enclosed. N16RS. RS stands for Richard Seagrave.
I think it might be a Starduster II homebuilt, it definitely sounds like a 4 cylinder Lycoming to me and the wings look slightly swept back. Not at all like a W-670 Continental or Lycoming R-680, both radials. A lot of guessing, though, it's a small image.

I'd have to say a Stearman, best estimate. Wing planform and aft surfaces look right. Radial engine doesn't sound quite right to me, don't think it's a P&W 985, but the originals were powered by the Continental 220 or 225, so maybe it's restored in that configuration.
Thanks for the post.

I caught a frame from the video and blew it up. Not enough detail to reveal.
Here are some modern biplanes:

Well;
I would have to say Stearman . I have a lot of them fly around here . The one that always gets me is the Turbo Pilatus that someone at the airport owns . I always know when that one is up . T.B.
mawright20Hard to say based on the distance, but the wing layout says Stearman to me
BTW, Revell makes a beautiful Stearman kit in 1:48 scale, a real gem. The cabane struts are molded onto the fuselage, making it much easier to align upper wing than with most biplane kits. Cockpit detail on the kit is great.

Could be a Tiger Moth, but looks a bit short
