Any comment on this, Does not look like
Entomophthora muscae to me.

Further, it did not look like fly was flattened with some force as it was on some 1m high soft plant.

I think the fungus was unable to penetrate between the tergites and took an alternate exit from the abdomen. Otherwise it looks similar to a Calliphoridae I saw a few years ago.
