This soldier is unidentified but the blurry cap in his hand looks to have a company H letter. The drooping scrub pine in the back appears in several other 2nd USSS photos dating to their stay in Falmouth, VA in the spring and summer 1862. No doubt a Vermont sharpshooter.
The following soldier may be Lewis Pike or George S. Miller, both of Co. H, 2nd U.S. Sharpshooters. Two identical prints are known, one signed Pike and other Miller.
