This is a II./JG52 Bf109K-4 in the typical WNr.332000-335241 block Mtt camouflage pattern. Amazing, truly amazing!
The only other known machine with the black tulip motive on the nose so far is Bf109K-4 WNr.332529 "KleineSchwarze4", ?/JG 52, Deutsch Brod, published in Poruba and Mol 2000, p.76.

His find shows a different machine as WNr.332529, as evidenced by the camouflage pattern with the RLM81/RLM82/RLM76 low demarcation line on the fuselage.
