Host appears to be an Acronicta sp. caterpillar, Ophiocordyceps elongata
Excellent find! Host and morphology are a good match to O. elongata—uncommon.

Went back to locale where Malosma laurina shrubs were blooming and found another one of these little flies. Very shy and sneaky—would light on a stem and be very well camouflaged!

kyle_eaton_photographyDescription
I caught this White-lined Sphinx Moth, iNatted, and then released. It seemed to be missing multiple legs. After being caught and lightly held in the cup of my hand, it started vibrating defensively. The pink of its wings could be seen when it flew.
