Stratomyidae is correct and without seeing the head I can only guess it could be
Oplodontha viridula.

Hi kuv, yes - it's quite blurry and I have no experience in the aquatic larvae. So I'm not able to decide whether we can see the "pairs of hairbrushes on the ventro-lateral side of the head" or not:

But I think, we see the "somewhat angular bodysegments and the relatively short anal segment":

Adding Stratiomyidae to the thread's title could help...
