Nikita,
since no exact timing in Soviet claims (at least, known by me), other pilot also possible, but what I know about these claims, Bersenyev's claim is the closest one (detailed combat reports, even without timing would help a lot).
BTW in Hungarian side, there are also a different date for Buday's demise (even in the local death registry - I have a copy from that village but according to my research, it is an error) The date is 17th and timing is around 4pm, it is 100% sure.
It was extremely hard to compile that material, since most of the official sources went missing, and even the remained ones contain errors.
