Can anyone identify BF 109 Pilots of JG53 Pik As in this photograph?

Who is the pilot who looks like Adolf 'dolfo' Galland with his dog? Is it the great man himself?

Thanks for all the detailed info.. Somehow it did not quite look like Galland and did not fit in to JG53. But he did have the same breed of dog for a short while during the war!..
