Lol, the egg-looking things are probably blobs of fungus on the halters, flies have small balancing mechanisms behind their wings.

The 'bands' will be the joints, flies have segmented abdomens so I guess the fungus will be attacking the weaker, soft points for a start. I can't see any obvious fungus on the head, but as it's dead the head will have just fallen forward!

Here's a pic of a simialr green fly, it show the halters behind the wings and you can see the segment joints on the abdomen.
