You could probably get away with calling it a Confederate guerrilla such as Quantrills Raiders or similar. You may have to change/adapt some of the equipment as mentioned by Mike
"The 1862 Partisan Ranger Act passed by the Confederate Congress authorized the formation of these units and gave them legitimacy, which placed them in a different category than the common 'bushwhacker' or 'guerrilla'. John Singleton Mosby formed a partisan unit that was very effective in tying down Federal forces behind Union lines in northern Virginia in the last two years of the war. Groups such as Blazer's Scouts, White's Comanches, the Loudoun Rangers, McNeill's Rangers, and other similar forces at times served in the formal armies, but often were loosely organized and operated more as partisans than as cavalry, especially early in the war."

I'm no expert though

You can find some Civil War pistols. I may have one here. The saddle bags would have to resculpted but that's not hard. The coat looks like it might be close to a 4 button sack coat but you'll need to cut off all the fringe and paint it blue (Federal). You can keep the firemans shirt. There were many types of those worn. Goggle Civil War firemans shirts for examples. Let me know if
you want the correct pistol.
you want the correct pistol.
