Something or someone claiming Cornwall?
The unusual orange legs on that bird could mean it's a Chough, as depicted on the Cornish Ams, altho it should be black, instead of yellowish, also the black/white shield in the center could reference St Piran's Flag, which is the flag of Cornwall.
My people come from Cornwall, and our Arms are made up from arms of 4 families, where this one looks to be 6 or more on one shield.
I am interested, so please post the answer, if known.

The modern National heraldic achievement of Romania is the same charges (without the cross fleury azure) on a field of azure; your example has the cross fleury and a field purpure, indicative of kingship.

Michael I (20 July 1927-8 June 1930) minor under regency
Carol II (8 June 1930-6 September 1940) his father, returned from exile; forced to abdicate
Michael I again (6 September 1940 – 30 December 1947) forced to abdicate, monarchy abolished
Earlier versions of the Royal flag had the tricolor background seen in the present Romanian flag.
Carol II is best known for his involvement with Magda Lupescu....
After the Revolution of 1989, the former King visited Romania to an enthusiastic reception in the streets of Bucharest; however, the country preserved its republican character. The royal estates and properties in Romania were restored.
The former King is respected and recognised by the parliament. His grandson[6] was named Prince of Romania by royal decree, and regularly visits different organisations in Romania. The crown princess and her husband bestow royal orders in name of the former King for selected Romanians.
The Royal house is still very popular[7] and in 2014 Prime Minister Victor Ponta promised a referendum on whether or not to reinstate the monarchy if he was re-elected.[8] A square was named in honor of King Mihai in 2012.[9]

Uuuuuhhhhh...... Trump Family Crest Flag?
I mean, look at the bull - he seems to be wearing the Trump Toupee...
But for a more educated guess wherein I will be wrong...
Maybe a High Medieval Era small kingdom flag?

Ack, I'm the nitpicker
You said 19th century, which would suggest sometime between 1801-1900.

You said 19th century
so you were off by a bit.
Romania has a rather complicated history, and not just in regard to its flags.
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
Actually, a very complicated history from
the early 19th to early 20 th V

Yep, you are correct!

Specific to the Kings of Romania.
The modern National heraldic achievement of Romania is the same charges (without the cross fleury azure) on a field of azure; your example has the cross fleury and a field purpure, indicative of kingship.

Two specific persons had that flapping overhead
one of them twice:
Michael I (20 July 1927-8 June 1930) minor under regency
Carol II (8 June 1930-6 September 1940) his father, returned from exile; forced to abdicate
Michael I again (6 September 1940 – 30 December 1947) forced to abdicate, monarchy abolished

How do I embed an image in a comment?
Really. I "save" a .jpg or .gif image and I try to copy it to the box, and nothing happens.
This
is not helpful.
Thx!
