sorry, no idea. Atlhough I once found a pupa with an almost similar looking anal segment which I thought to be an Ephydridae. At that time I couldn't find a match of a species/genus/family but it shows some characteristics only present in some Ephydridae.

Thank you Atylotus. So, it seems to be an Ephydridae.
