the siphon looks longer and thinner and therefor resembles Culex territans. I have added a photo of a Dutch larva and maybe you can compare it with yours. The siphon in C. territans also doesn't have dorsal (anterior) hairs on the siphon, only several ventral (posterior) bundles |

It sems to me there is no hairs on dorsal hairs on the siphon. There is a crop showing the dorsal side : I will try to do better (it is still in its swiming pool !)
