To me it looks like
one of the corydalids (fish flies, dobsonflies, alderflies). Though I could be wrong because i'm not fimilliar with many beetle larva. Do you have a picture that shows the "tails" (or lack there of) at the very rear of the body?

?
Are the gills or whatever they are on the non-legged segments hidden under it? If it doesn't have any, could this be a waterbeetle larva?

waterbeetle?
You could be right, I never noticed the gills, or whatever they're called. I'll move it to ID request for now.
