_h is a pattern for an expression with head h http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/ref/Blank.html pattern?test applies a function test to the whole expression matched by pattern to determine whether there is a match. http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/tutorial/PuttingConstraintsOnPatterns.html You would need to use f[n_?IntegerQ] rather than what you wrote.
