Following the thread about Hydrellia puparium
conforted by the good infos from Atylotus
I suppose these larvae found in the same water sample
were Hydrellia sp
They present same cephalopharyngeal skeleton, size a little bit minor than the size of puparium
(3 mm length max) creeping welts with spicules on the abdomen segments, posterior spiracles as for Ephydridae
Could it be Hydrellia modesta by the mouthparts ?

merci beaucoup

Yes, this is the larva of Hydrellia. ID to species level impossible without breeding them.
