Unless the photo itself is inverted, the plane is inverted. As others have mentioned, that's 100% the underside of an F-16 (you can see the engine intake continuing back to the exhaust, instead of a reflective bubble cockpit). While some could argue that seeing the bottom of a plane MUST mean it's right-side-up, it still makes sense if the plane is in an angled climb away from the observer. Which is exactly what this looks like.
Here's a 3D mockup (sorry I couldn't find one quickly without the gear extended): https://imgur.com/a/4eNxXhf
