First, there's a difference between the return type of the CallInst and 
the return type of the function being called (because you can cast 
function constants).  If you want the value that will be used by users 
of the CallInst, simply look at the type of the CallInst.

If you want the return type of the Function constant, you need to use 
getCalledValue()->stripPointerCasts() to get the Function constant 
(assuming that there is one; it could also be an indirect call with some 
non-const value as the function pointer).  So, you'd do:

if (Function * F = 
dyn_cast<Function>(I->getCalledValue()->stripPointerCasts())) {
     ... do whatever...
}
