Hello Andre,
The posterior breathing tube seems to be fused. That's a typical feature for Syrphidae larvae. Looks to me like a Syrphus larvae, but I don't have the literature at hand (I'm in the middle of moving house...)
Greetings,
Ectemnius

Bedankt Ectemnius!
First things first: Good luck in your new home!!!!
I am very happy with Syrphidae! It gives me a self-esteem boost knowing that I am learning really something.
Groetjes,
André
