The problem is that there is another species, Molobratia egregia that is very similar to teutonus. It is known from Romania and Turkey. Your creature may well be this species because the white spots on the abdomen are smaller than usual, the colour of the dusting seems to more dark and I can't see the katatergal bristles (postnotal fan) just before the halteres which may mean that they are black (yellow in teutonus). This would be tentatively M. cf egregia.
