Yeah, this is a well educated crowd.
I have a couple "marinating" since I post other places on FT where I am located and where I am flying I don't want to make things too easy.
I will get one that lasts a couple of days!

SFO, can't see enough of the engine cowl to be certain but looks like a 737-900, an "F" seat somewhere between row 4 and 9 would be my guess but my confidence level is going down hill fast

Scale relative to camera size feels like a narrowbody for sure; I wouldn't opine on type since I can't remember the wingtip options, but 739 seems plausible.

OTOH, A319/320 typically have sharklets not the extended winglets and the 175 has outward sloping winglets. I can't remember what the 75/76 wing situation looks like.
I don't get to SFO often enough to have a sense of runway choices but I'm not totally convinced this is a 28 departure -- I'm not going to reject that hypothesis either

Not for southerly destinations - maybe not the most common but not terribly rare either (probably more common than a 76 at SFO... although IIRC they had some on OGG/LIH-SFO for a while going back to IAH). Depart 28s and turn left 180 or so.

There's could be some perspective at play but that engine doesn't seem to be big enough to be even a 752 let alone a widebody -- and the wing surface area also seems small. I've stood in a DC-10 engine (a client made me...I was just going to take a selfie in front of it) and at my 6'0" height I barely touched the top, bottom, left, and right edges with my limbs fully extended. A 737 or A320 isn't nearly spacious and this seems closer to those dimensions. If we could see the bottom of the cowl that would at least cinch the family (737 has an obround profile based on ground clearance while the other NB series have a round shape)
