2 Spt 1941 FW 189 loss

[James A Pratt III]

In the book Barbarossa Derailed vol 3 p422 has
1 FW 189 aircraft shot down by machine gun fire and the crew of 3 men taken prisoner. this is by the 101st TD, 19 Army , Western Front in what looks like the Kholm area.
The FW 189 lost list that I got from this site has the following losses this day:
1 (H)/ 31 German 9 Armee Prince-Bikovo area
1 (H)/12 German 16th Army Szalto area

could anyone tell which one it could be? Thanks in advance.
