Hello everyone again!
I collected this larvae from a bromeliad (phytotelmata) in a cloud forest (aprox. 2000 meters above sea level) in Ecuador. The larvae (or is it a pupae?) is somewhat sclerotized, and has a triangular shape that can not be appreciated in the picture; it also has a clear and light brown coloration.
Thank you in advance!

There is something that looks a bit like a cecid spatula - triangular shape might also fit Cecidomyiidae, but the long posterior spiracles are not typical.
What size is it?

Hi Tony!
I'll attach another pic with a scale bar so you can check up the size of the larvae.
