It is Ernst von Althaus - 18th (1st Saxon) Hussar Regiment. Officers commissioned prior to joining the Air Service continued to wear the uniform of their original unit.

Oblt. Ernst von Althaus served in Jasta 4 from 1 September 1916 until 4 March 1917. He wasn’t posted to command Jasta 10 until 6 July 1917. This photo was taken to celebrate the bestowal of the Pour le Mérite to Oblt. Rudolf Berthold on 12 October 1916. From left to right are: Ltn. Alfred Lenz, Ltn. Karl Stehle, Ltn. Walter Höhndorf, Vzfw. Hermann Margot, Oblt. Hans-Joachim Buddecke, Ltn. Kralweski, Berthold, Ltn. Fritz Otto Bernert, von Althaus, and Ltn. Hans Malchow.

I think Greg's list is accidentally just one man short. Also if you carefully look at the uniforms you will see that it is not just v. Althaus wearing the uniform of other units. Buddecke is in Turkish Air Service uniform whilst Berthold and Malchow are in Infantry uniforms.
