Quite possibly it's a recon plane... then again maybe not.

You're Kind & efficient, but I'm not satisfied of the reply, we know some Italian pilots veteran of WWII with Macchi & we'll ask them  abaut drop tanks and speed

AXE, dont be harsch ..  

So far we have evidence of some armed *reconaissance* C.205 variants with drop tanks. Sometimes they had the 2x12,7mm removed to carry a biger central tank.

AFAIK no combat 205's had them. But we'll investigate, sure we will ...
