Can anyone identify this uniform?

This is an old family portrait but no one is exactly sure what his rank is or what his position was.
Any input would be appreciated.

(Sorry for the flash reflection)

Grüß Gott Apitz,

I'm no expert on this era, but I would say that he is an enlisted man, German Cavalry (Yellow Shoulder Boards) , 1870 Franco-Prussian War time frame.

My great-great grandfather was also in the German army at that time.
