On raised Pisum sativum var. saccharatum mined leaves that have molded, this larva.

I obtained Chromatomyia horticola flies (from the mines ?) and Scaptomyza flava flies.

Could this larva be Scaptomyza flava ?

Does not look like S. flava. To me it makes impression of a calyptrate fly. At least a good picture of posterior spiracles is needed to tell more (but Calyptrata are not my cup of tea).
