I was wondering whether these could be Camptodiplosis auriculariae, but there are other species developing in this fungus as well. Are these certainly Cecidomyiidae?

Lower Austria, late September
(last image does NOT show the fully grown larva :D)

found another one, this time with a pinkish apical coloration - more in line with the initial descripition (no jumoing, though)
