Hello Bob,
Welcome to the site and forum.
What I can see from the pictures, it does not look like a fly larva to me. My suggestion is that it maybe the larva of a chrysidid wasp. I have no literature available to check, but maybe you have.

Thank you for your answer, there are fair chances that it is indeed the
larva of a Chrysidae.
Here is what I found in another nest...
PS : Excuse me please for such a late answer but I have been struggling
with a bad computer problem

hello,
It is not a Chrysidae which appeared but......
According to cthirion, it is a Cryptinae, probably Stenarella domator (Scopoli)
Thanks....;)
