Default Identification help please

Can anyone suggest which regiment this officer is serving with?

The photo probably dates to around 1880/1890, the cross belt and whistle suggesting a rifles connection. I have enlarged the cross belt badge as much as possible.

All thoughts greatly appreciated.

The tunic and spiked helmet suggest an Indian Army infantry unit.

Judging from the shoulder badge there may be a Dhow as part of the central device. Given that shoulder plate badges usually differ from helmet badges it might be the 9th Madras Native Infantry.

I will check my books to see if I can find a picture of their uniform.
