My best guess is the Caproni Vizzola F.6M, But it might be the F.4

looks more like M.C. 202 than any other Reggia Aeornautica bird i've seen pix of, but the landing gear on the plane in question is different from all of the other M.C 202 pix i've looked at.  I'm sure if it was an M.C. 202, then the author of the post one up from this one would have recognized it

No, its the insignia of the Reggia Aeronautica up to 1944, when the Italian government changed sides.
compare it with the MC202 and 205 in AcesHigh)

After that the fascist airforce in North Italy had the Italian Tricolore on the rudder.

What did the Allied Italians' planes look like after 1944? That is what the Italian Co-Beligerant Air-Force (or something like that?) is right?

Right answer is Caproni-Vizzola F.4 ... :)

"Monoplane fighter, of mixed contruction with a semi-elliptical wing. It was developed in parallel with the very similar F.5, the latter being powered by a radial engine. Because the Asso 121 engine of the F.4 was disliked by the Regia Aeronautica, the F.4 was completed only in 1939, then powered by the Daimler-Benz DB 601A engine. It remained a prototype, because development of the more advanced F.6 was already underway."
