Size: 4+ mm
I've attempted to rear these on numerous occasions and finally got an adult

so there is no need to post more attempts at rearing. Except this is a better photo of a pre-pupa larva
June 20, 2016: collected several blotch leaf miners on leaves of Heart-leaved aster, Symphyotrichum cordifolium, each leaf given its own vial
June 26, 2018: larva left mine
unsuccessful rearing
