Very last scene--a fourth man?

In the very last scene, we see Groucho, Chico, and Harpo getting married to Thelma Todd but look closely. There's a a FOURTH person in a top hat hiding behind Todd. When the brothers pile on her, the fourth person runs off right. Who is that? Zeppo? And if it's Zeppo, why isn't he with the other brothers?

it occurs to me that perhaps, since zeppo is supposed to be groucho's son in this one, it would be going a bit too far to have him married to the same woman as his father.

I think it's supposed to be Zeppo's character (he was romantically involved with her), but Zeppo was absent at the time they shot the scene (so they semi-hid the actor behind the woman).
