Might be an FN FAL? Receiver and stock look right, but the handguard looks weird and the carry handle isn't visible, though both might be down to modifications.

Edit: looking into it. Cuba had FN FALs before they switched to soviet weapons, but I can't see any crest on the magazine wall.

This is actually an FN CAL. It sorta looks like a slightly smaller FAL but it was a rotating bolt chambered in 5.56. It wasn't produced for very long, eventually replaced by the FN FNC.
