Who walks on the snow?

 
Priit met this ”walker” on the snow at Abja in Viljandimaa on Estonia’s Independence Day.
 
 We asked Urmas Tartes who it might be?
 
The photo shows a spider of the genus Pisauridae, and probably a nursery web spider (Pisaura mirabilis). I have met them on springtime snow myself  – but, true, only seldom.
