Yep that’s a RES with some nasty infection. They are susceptible to issues during our winters - I’ve lost caged RES over winter as well. Unless you experience this frequently I wouldn’t worry too much about it - I figure I lose a percentage of RES every winter due to our temps.

In 2017, a sudden fall cold snap devastated my plus 6 inches CNBG population with a white fungus. RES were totally fine, as were small CNBG.
