Thread subject: Diptera.info :: pupa of Mycetophilidae?

We found this 3 mm long pupa of which I believe it may belong to a Mycetophilidae or perhaps a close relative (Sciaridae?). It was not collected by me so we do not know exactly in which niche it was collected, but it was found in Klein Profijt in the Rhine Delta area, The Netherlands on oktober 6, 2010.

It has small prothoracic spiracles with several minute openings, lateral spiracles alongside the abdominal segments, except for the last and the anal segment has two pairs of lobes (see photo).
can anybody confirm the identity? or has some other idea. Family level will do just fine.
Thanks
