Is this a cocon from a fly?

place: Amsterdam forest, under leave near water.

Definitely a cyclorrhaphan fly.

I am sorry for giving the false size.., it's just 3.5mm

Cyclorrhaphan fly, that can also mean that it is perhabs a Drosophila sp.? (looking at the habitat)
I collected the cocon, so I'll wait till it is born.
