Head Coverings Worn by Romaniote Jews

'Moses-Symeon Pesach', Chief Rabbi of the Romaniote Greek Jewish community of Larisa, central Greece in 1939
From the shape this hat is close to a kamilavka

I can't say if the rabbi's hat was bi-color or only black/black?
3 Examples:

1.
Jechiel Avihatzeira (יחיאל אביחצירא)  with bi-color head covering:
The hat is made outr of dark red (burgandy) velvet and a black ribbon

2.
Bishop Artermie
 Bishop emeritus of Kosovo diocese, the oldest  diocese of the Serbian Orthodox Church
Black Kamilavka (Камила́вка) with black ribbon

3.
Black Kamilavka (Камила́вка), Russian style
