GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE!
After a lengthy discussion with the "HEAD" Judges, it has been found that you are correct! It is indeed a Rumpler C.IV. I really had to go out on a limb on this one with the panel of experts! Just for you! They do prefer a detailed explanation sometimes, depending on their mood.
This well earned point brings you within 6.4 of the much coveted
"le B.M." (le Breguet Medalle)!
I would like to take this opportunity to suggest that you name the next one BCFC #270!

It's actually "Le M.B." (le Medalle Breguet)

And why, pray tell, would I do that when it is actually #271?
Also thanks for the great challenge - for me it was the taper at the lower wing root and the upper wing cut out that gave it away.

I knew that! 
I was just testing you. 
You have passed!

Kind of like the Albatros C.III I had shown recently, the upper wing cut-out is very distinctive on many of these.
