Obviously his friends might not be able to figure out which is which, especially if they weren't in the room when the illusion appeared, but the person himself? Absolutely.
I would have assumed that the character would get a free chance to disbelieve an illusory version of himself. On the other hand, how does the character know the wizard doesn't have a spell that summons a clone version of the character?
