A Pseudoperga species is one of the possibles. Unfortunately we can't usually identify the larvae to species level and in most cases even to a genus, without rearing through to adults. More research is needed in this area. There is about 60 species in subfamily Perginae and no definitive or detailed study of early life stages.

Interesting that Carbon AI behaves like iNats Computer Vision often does and lumps larvae into a particular direction. No doubt trained by previous human made assumptions or errors.
