It says "MF-HG20", plus it's got an outside lockring, so it's a relatively new Hyperglide freewheel. It uses the same spline pattern as older Uniglide freewheels. They all use the standard Shimano TL-FW30 tool or the Park FR-1: http://www.parktool.com/product/freewheel-remover . A Park FR-5 is the same spline pattern, but it's made specifically for cassette lockrings.

Very old Shimano freewheels used a smaller diameter tool that's hard to find. Bike Tools Etc. sells the Bicycle Research version: http://www.biketoolsetc.com/index.cg...item_id=BR-CT4
