Next best move?

here, black has just advanced his pawn to f4,  what is white's next best move, giving him the best chance at winning?  seems that the pawn to f4 move was to distract white from taking his bishop on g7, but black could have just as easily pulled his bishop back to h8 instead of 28 pawn to f4.

trying to learn from blacks choice of moves on this last move and white's next move.  thanks

Yup, that would have been my choice, too,  being down a piece, white's best bet to win is to gain pawns, destroying his defenses and increasing the likelihood of a pawn promotion.  My dad always said, "When ahead pieces, trade pawns; when ahead pawns trade pieces."  The converse is true, too, "When behind pieces, gain pawns; when behind pawns, gain pieces."
