Horizontal symmetry plane of cis-dichloroosmiumtetracarbonyl
Your compound has only one proper axis of rotation and it is $C_2$ as shown in the diagram. Therefore, it is the principle axis of rotation. By definition, $\sigma_\mathrm{h}$ is a plane of symmetry perpendicular to the principle axis of rotation. However, the plain you were talking about is paralleled to the principle axis of rotation. Thus, it is not a $\sigma_\mathrm{h}$ plane. Nonetheless, it is a $\sigma_\mathrm{v}$ plane, by definition.
