Hello,

A Lonchaeidae found in North of France, at Oxelaëre, the 07 August 2020, on a dead standing tree with large Ectemnius sp. nesting.
Maybe a Silba fumosa ?

I dont think its S. fumosa - the calypteres are greyish-white and the fringe is white - so perhaps a member of the Lonchaea chorea species-group
