Fruit fly with Laboulbeniales fungus. Only seen this once before on a fly but it is more frequently seen on ladybirds (those yellow pointy patches).

Thanks for the comments :)
I gather these things actually spread from fly to fly by "social" contact and then get spread on the fly by grooming.

Excellent captures. I've never seen this before either, but looks nasty.
