Thank you both of you.
I forgot to mention the size. The pupa is only 7 mm so that seems to rule out Metalimnobia sp.
The specimen is male and I'll have a look at the genitalia soon.
The pupal skin has opened down the middle of the dorsum, just like it's supposed to. The part covering the abdomen must have become detached later.
