Which is the head end? Either way, rather like Uresiphita ornithopteralis , but with a wrong-colour head.

The head is the red end. Will try to get better photos. It was difficult in situ as I only had a long 'bird' lens, not a macro.

I'm wondering about Spectrotrota fimbrialis Alison - my photos have white lateral markings - if you could get a side shot it might help...

It didn't like anything I tried to feed it and almost immediately went into pupa stage. I haven't checked but not sure it will be successful given how small the larvae was.
