I have the original glass-plate negative of the below image and until recently I could say it was a "previously unpublished image," except I gave permission to Donald Frazier to use the image in his most recent book Blood on the Bayou: Vicksburg, Port Hudson, and the Trans-Mississippi. Regardless, I've wondered if this person is not Tom Green of the Texas cavalry? The entire photo (which I'll also post below) shows the staff of either General Richard Taylor or his subordinate Brigadier General Alfred Mouton, and is believed to have been taken in north Louisiana in 1863-64. Note there seems to be a blurry feather coming out of the subject's hat, but maybe not.
