Thank you Rick. Kind of you to post the photo. Being a bit busy now , but taken from the top of my head I would say that this is more likely a "Yellow 9" of 6./JG 27, Bf 109 F-2/Trop, given the place and time of the photo you refer to.
Camouflage is different from the F-4 on eBay as your photo rather show a desert camouflage of RLM 79 Sandgelb upper and 78 Hellblau (Himmelblau) lower fuselage. Probably whith the typical white spinner also visible. Difficult to tell from the photo but it should then very likely also have a white nose band just aft of the spinner.
