Can anyone help me identifying (a) the period of this uniform/helmet and (b) identification of the uniform.  The picture was taken in Chico, California (Northern California).

thanks,

Steve

1881 dress helmet with 1885 dress blue coat. The collar, cuffs, shoulder straps, and piping of the coats were the color of the individual branch of service. White for infantry, red for artillery, yellow for cavalry, etc.
