I wouldn't say Armin because of height (then again, he could've grown taller) and the line where Pieck states that she seen the soldier somewhere before. So that means it's someone she recognizes from the Mid-East War, a random face in the crowd that she remembers, or someone from Paradis.

The only times she could've seen Armin was during her patrol (even then, it was dark, so I doubt that she would be able to recognize any facial features) and when Armin was laid out on a roof, after being burnt to a crisp. The soldier could've been someone that survived the retaking of Wall Maria, but that's stretching it.

Unless we get some flashbacks of Armin meeting her during the Mid-East War or around Marley, I don't think it's Armin. For me, I would have to say the soldier is a new character.
