What is the Name of what the Pope is Wearing on his Head?

[bben15]

Pictured here, Pope Innocent III is wearing a white thing around his head. What is this called?

It is an old zucchetto or a cowl. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zucchetto

It looks like Pope Innocent has drawn his amice up over his head.

This was done by monastic priests (which I do not believe Innocent was) at certain parts of the Mass, where other clergy would wear a headcovering (birettas or mitres).

I’m not convinced it’s historically correct for Innocent though.

Seems to be a primitive form of a zuccetto.

I’d second zucchetto. You can find the larger style zucchetto in paintings of the Medieval Pontiffs, as for example this one. I’m guessing your photo is from Brother Sun, Sister Moon.
