dear Dipterists,
From a colleague of mine, I received a photograph of this curious pupa. It is from the upper reach of a spring brook somewhere in germany. Anyone ? Many thanx in advance !

Hi, beacause of the long legs and antennae I think Trichoptera, their larvae are very similar.

Based on what I can see (structure of mesonotum; apparent wing venation) it might be Mycetophilidae.
