I just bought this old colorized photo. Any thoughts on the rank, unit, or service branch, anything??? Thanks

Well, the young man appears to be a Confederate second lieutenant and probably in the infantry, judging by the style of the sword.

Thanks, That is what another guy posted on the other CW forum. Now I know.
His cover (hat) appears to be a McDowell style forage cap, the same style that Stonewell Jackson favored. (I wear one too.)
