Seems to me that this is functioning (according to your description)
as some kind of dominant chord to the target chord of C Major, in
which case, there are a couple of ways of describing it, depending on
the context.
As it is now, it seems to be a D dim./F, and that's probably the best
way to describe it. If adding a B makes it sound wrong, try adding a
C, in which case it would be an F min 6, which is can be used in a
dominant function, leading to a C Major chord.
Just some thoughts.

Could it be E7 no 5th. ?
Thanks, George - I'm sorry to have mistakenly said there was an Fb
(E) in
the chord - I realized the E was a suspended note that resolves to
a D...
There is an F natural in the bass, so I'm starting to think this IS
the D°
chord...??
