From a jazz perspective, I would call it a C9sus4 chord, or Bb/C (these two symbols are considered to be interchangeable and mean the same chord function.) It’s a suspended dominant chord, where the suspensions don’t need to resolve, but sometimes they do, to a C7 or some other form of C7 before going to F.
The top three voices can be in any order. As long as the C is the bottom note, it will fulfill the same function. The note G is completely optional (as the P5th of any chord is the first note to be dropped, for reasons of chord clarity, voice leading, or simple preference). Try adding an A on top (or in the middle) for extra misterioso!
