This must be a pretty common chord progression but not being much of a theory guy, I couldn't name it. What I'm playing is this but I don't know what the chord after the D7 is (or what it should be - also, I'm not sure that D7 is the right chord): C -C7 - F - F7 - C - D7 - ? - G7 - C.
Is it a II-V-I or something like that?

C -- C7 -- F -- F#dim -- C -- A7 -- D7 -- G7 -- C.

That wold be a very typical, and just slightly elaborated, progression along the line that captainbliss named.

Yes, captainbliss has a good answer. what is confusing is that in jodanchudan's question, the question mark should be between the C and the D7.

Thanks guys - I'll try that out. What's the question mark chord in my clip then? Is that the diminished?

@jodanchudan: This site and these "chord maps" have really been helping me figure out chord progressions... Have a look/read and see if it helps you! Music Theory For Songwriters -- Chord Maps

The question mark in your clip is in the wrong spot. It should be to the left of D7 and that chord is an A7.

The question mark is in the right spot - that's the chord I don't know! I know it's a different progression with the A7, but what's the chord in the progression in the clip? And is going C - D7 - ? - G7 - C invalid?

I hear the chords of your progression as

C -C7 - F - F7 - C - A7 - D7 - G7 - C.

Can you take a video or post tablature of the chords you're playing?

Just found a chord-finder site that lets you click on the fretboard to find the chord - apparently it's a G 6/9 or A7 sus2, so it's:
c - C7 - F - F7 - C - D7 - A7sus2 - G7 - C.

...finally, I can sleep.

I am a bit confused. Listening to your sound recording played on (I think) ukelele or solo mandolin, the chord progression - to my ear - is still what I posted above.

My ears are pretty good, but maybe I'm missing something?
