Hello,
There was a few of these floating not far from the surface of my pond on 15th October, near Lincoln UK. I think they were enjoying the warmth of the sun. Size approx. 10mm. I had adult probable Chaoborus crystallinus male and female this year.

definitely a Chaoborus larva, but without a detailed photo of the head, it is impossible to tell which species.

Thank you atylotus, I have cropped off the best shot I got, maybe not good enough.

you can strikethrough 'maybe'.
it can only be seen in lateral view.

Thank you, I found my thread with male and female. I saw these more than once but no others.
