This is a tough one, but if I were to put my money on anything I'd say Teugelsi as well.

It's very hard too tell from the pattern and colors, looks like it could match both Teugelsi and Palmas Buettikoferi, and even Retropinnis I suppose. The fish does however seem to have the elongate appearance of a Teugelsi, and I've never seen a Buettikoferi with a head that flat.

Full, detailed side pictures please. Worst case scenario we'll count the scales lol.

If it really is a Teugelsi, then I suppose this is the real-life equivalent of legendary raid drop. It's arguable the rarest UJ poly you'll find in the hobby, even those actively looking for one will have a hard time landing one.

Yeah, they are pretty rare compared to some others but at this point in the hobby they’re not impossible to find hell even my LFS gets them in and let not saying much at all. I’m trying to get 3-5 and my lfs already has a shipment of them planned for me for late February early March. I’ll probably pick up one of toyins if my tank is cycled before then...

Anyway, Charney Charney you’ve definitely got a beauty of a teug there. I’m not sure if you mentioned it but how big is she? Trust me you won’t regret this one teugs are what got me into keeping polys and as you can tell by my username are still one of my main favorites.

Retros and golds are often mixed up. It’s a Gold dust.
 
Neither golddust I have have that dark of a pattern. Mine are probably siblings though maybe just low grade. Their patterns are almost nonexistent. Little on the sides. Ofcoarse they are hiders so no good pics.

The two other buettikoferis I have had before look just like this one. My retro looks nothing like him
