Even with enlargement, I should have considered this. Thanks.

It is now known for sure it is Fw 190 A-9 WNr. 980542 marked <1-+- of Stab/JG 4, possibly a reserve machine to Fw 190 D-9 WNr. 600150 marked in the same manner. Location unknown (at least to me).

Two photos of her were published in 'LO+ST', pp. 8-9, yet another one went for a high price on Ebay in January 2021:

I am in no way suggesting that the seller is at fault, but this photo appears to have been manipulated. The double winkel and balkankreuz are too white, suggesting that they have been cleaned up or added. Again, the seller may be unaware since photos can change hands many times.
