This photo I identified as a  Sukhoi Su-27 is in fact a MiG 29M.  For a good explanation on the differences between the two aircraft you should read the comments below.  I am always grateful for the information I receive from you.  Your sources often prove better than mine.  Thank you.  Picture source:  1680 x 1050 image from eWallpapers.

    In the 1680 x 1050 is a Mig-29M(Mig-35).The main difference between a Mig-29 and a Su-27 is that in reality Mig-29 it's much smaller than Su-27 because it's a light fighter aircraft like F-16.But in a picture you can make the difference between them by looking at the backside of the aircraft,on the belly, near the engines, Su-27 has aerodynamic stabilizators and Mig-29 doesn't.And another difference is that Su-27 has wingtips on which, usually it carries R-73(air to air short range missiles)or radar jamming pods and mig-29 doesn't have wingtips.And the Su-27 has 14 hardpoints, 5 on each wing,including the wingtips,2 hardpoints on the engines and 2 between the engines.Mig-29M(Mig-35) has only 9 hardpoints 4 on each wing and 1 between the engines,and a standard Mig-29 has only 7 hardpoints, 3 on the each wing and 1 between the engines.
