Any help to identify this British Indian/ Empire uniform?
Please can anyone help to identify the uniform worn in this image?
Date would be approximately 1864 to 1894. Apologies for such a poor image but it’s all I’ve got. Many thanks for any help. All the best. William.

Many thanks for all comments.
I had thought the image was of someone else - an entirely different person! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ney_Elias Thanks for your corrections. All the best William
