    Looks like a Fed. overcoat, and it's missing the top two buttons.

    Received. “How now about the fifth and sixth guns?”
    Sent. “The sixth gun is the bully boy.”
    Received. “Can you give it any directions to make it more bully?”
    Sent. “Last shot was little to the right.”
    Received. “Fearfully hot here. Several men sunstruck. Bullets whiz like fun. Have ceased firing for awhile, the guns are so hot."

      Notice his auction says all items sold "as is". It would be up to the buyer, if they changed their minds, to prove the soldier wasn't Confederate. Even though the coat appears to be Federal, how does one prove the soldier wasn't. A little mis-advertising goes a long way. Be interesting to see if anyone wants to meet the reserve price based on the assumption the subject is Confederate.
