 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 !)
