There is a type identification board in this forums. Try there.

It appears to be Snell Roundhand Black, but it has been backslanted to make it upright. Here it is with the slant restored:

It also appears to be slightly spaced out so the connecting strokes aren't connecting, and some of the counters appear to be filled in. The sample is pretty small and low-res so it's difficult to tell for sure what's going on with the counters.

You know, if I'm not mistaken, this may be one of those "original" fonts that Dinc Type did. The site appears to be down or possibly gone forever. A lot of their fonts were existing fonts with various transformations done to them (as has been done to Snell here) to make them look "original."
