Hello Francis,

In attachment some more pictures but i have a hard time taking good 
pictures...

Maybe these help and off course i understand if further determination is 
not possible by  means of pictures.

I was surprised by the extruded anal gills and did not see this in any 
picture of hoverfly larvae and learned a lot thanks to the reply of 
members of this list!

Thank you !
Nobby
