It sure looks like a 19-years-old Leo Parker on alto (picture is supposed to have been taken in 1943), his instrument until he turned to baritone around 1945. Thanks for the replies so far (Chuck and the others)! In fact he must have picked up the baritone in 1944, as he recorded with the Billy Eckstine Orchestra on September 5, 1944.

Yes! (see my previous reply). He was on alto in the Coleman Hawkins' proto-bop recording sessions for Apollo that produced Woody'n you, Bu-dee-daht and Yesterdays (Feb. 16, 1944) and Disorder at the border, Feeling zero and Rainbow mist (Body and soul) (Feb. 22, 1944).
