Hi, found the larva yesterday on a sallow full of Tuberolachnus salignus - Giant Willow Aphid.
I could not find a resembling one and shall be glad if you can help identifying.

I finally found out: it's a Didea fasciata.
The successful search "syrphidae tuberolachnus":
1. https://influenti..._aphid.htm
2. https://en.wikipe...a_fasciata
3. Heiss, E.M. (1938) A classification of the larvae and puparia of the Syrphidae of Illinois exclusive of aquatic forms.
