Mosquito claim over Rumania on 3 August 1944

Hi,

On 3 August 1944, Lt Hans Riedel of 7./JG 77 claimed his 7th kill over a Mosquito, probably over Rumania (location unknown but his unit was based here to protect Ploesti oilfields).

I have found no Mosquito loss for this day and will be interested by any report of attack by a British crew that managed to escape.

Another possibility is that the recon aircraft was misidentified and was either an American F-5 or a Soviet Pe-2 ?

Thanks in advance
