Help with brood!!!

I got a camponotus modoc colony from a GAN farmer on labor day weekend. They had one large larva, and I wanted to know how long it would take for it to pupate, or how far it is from becoming a pupa.
Here's a picture:

Please let me know about how far this larva is from pupating, thanks!

Keeper of:
Camponotus Modoc(6 workers)
Pheidole Spp (2 queens, about 10 workers)
Possibly parasitic Formica (further ID required)
Novomessor Cockerelli (10+ workers)

They take 11 weeks from Egg to Worker, so it could be around 3-5 more weeks.
Doing some proper research is the best way to start an antcolony.
