It's ok it's also a weird angle. I think it was healthy. I have found others with this coloration so I think it is just the species.. whatever that may be.

Sorry Machi - something about the thorax made me think the fly was either dead or on it's last legs.

It is not dead either, I was watching it cleaning itself

Not a cicada. A dead fly.
