Asa Best baby photo?

The photo below was identified as Asa Best. Apparently there were at least two Asa Bests. My strong hunch is that this is Asa Josiah Best, but really I don't know.









































Asa Josiah Best, born 1859, was the son of Michael Stephen Best and Nancy Ann Purdy. There's also Asa Newton Best, born 1860, the son of William Best and Fredonia Baird. So many Bests and Purdys and they're all related!!!

The young age of this child would put the photo's year taken between 1860 and 1861.

I strongly believe this is Asa Josiah Best because of the Purdy connection. 

Anybody able to say for sure??
