Polecat/Ferret.

Picked up this road kill Polecat/Ferret locally last week, the bandit face mask is not very prominent, so think more likely to be a Ferret. It's the third casualty I've found on this particular stretch of road, along with a live one hunting at about 12-30am a few years back.

There's obviously a strong population locally, with another road kill which I had identified as a Polecat, plus saw another hunting along woodland edge.
Stewart was lucky enough to catch this one with his camera, hunting in his garden.
