The victim may have been an FAA or USN pilot spotting for offshore naval batteries. According to Mike Crosley of 3 Wing they flew low and were frequently attacked by flak and fighters from their own side. I'm not sure how many Americans flew Seafires during the Normandy invasion, but VCS-7 traded their seaplanes for Spitfires.
