There is another picture said to be Billy the Kid, Bat Masterson, Jessie James, and Charlie Bowdrie standing together which was taken in Las Vegas, New Mexico in 1879. Obviously, the picture is controversial, but the men in the photo do bear a striking resemblance to those historical figures, however unlikely their meeting may have been.

There have been a number of photos over the years claimed to be of the Kid. I wouldn't put much stock in this. Especially with the odds of these 4 individuals together. Also, the site states the 2nd from left is Doc Holliday, not Bat Masterson. One thing, Billy's ears in the authentic photo flare out considerably more than the ears in your photo. I say, the odds of another youth looking similar to the Kid is greater than the odds of these four individuals being photographed together. There's another photo, supposedly of the Kid taken after his capture at Stinking Springs. Again, there's little provenance attached to that as well, other than somewhat look-alike individuals. Don't get your hopes up. Here's a photo of John Henry "Doc" Holliday taken in Prescott, AZ in 1879...
