My first guess was a Limoniidae, for it has a fully developed head capsule and dorsal and ventral pseudopods. It reminded me a bit of Lipsothrix species, larvae of those live in deaf wood in brooks. But the anal segment with the spine is unlike Lipsothrix I know. There are some Limoniidae known with a spine but the genera have a reduced head capsule.
