I have a strong feeling that the guy in this photo with the cigar is of Billy. If you look closely he has dense eyebrows just like Billy. Also, he has protruding ears, a long chin, boyish looks, light coloured eyes (possibly blue), an edge to him. He has that typical Irish look about him. Another thing I noticed is he is wearing a sweater and only Billy the Kid was known to wear sweaters in that era. The sweaters and even bandana is identical to the famous tintype and the croquet one.

The other men in the photo look very much like John Tunstall and Jose Chavez Y Chavez as well. I wonder if any historians have weighed in on this photo yet? This photo was discussed before on the board some time ago, the posts about it start in the middle of the first page and Senior member ronnback posted a colorized version of the possible Billy on page 4 of the thread.
