Linyphinae?

Linyphinae?
Silent Lake Provincial Park, Bancroft, Ontario, Canada
January 4, 2020
Several (~ 5 with a short time looking) of these spiders were found in the middle of the frozen lake. There were not near each other, there were no structures nearby, it was not evident that they all could have hitched a ride and it was not windy. The temp was around freezing. The spiders were very active. Even the ones found the following day after a snowfall and when it was ~ 5 below 0. Linyphiidae? Www.Americanarachnology.org/JoA_free/JoA_v12_n3/arac_12_3_0249.pdf

Moved from Spiders.

Unfortunately, due to the small size of the photos, Laura's tentative ID is probably the best that can be done.

I think that's ...
a Cicurina.
