Slender Jumping Spider - Hentzia mitrata

Slender Jumping Spider - Hentzia mitrata
Tweed, Hastings, Ontario, Canada
June 3, 2017
Size: ~ 7 mm
Sorry about the poor images but the spider refused to pose for the camera. The reddish area on the pedicel doesn't seem normal, is it caused by a wasp or mantidfly larva, or fungal disease?
