Ermine confirmation please.

Evening All

This Ermine was found on my shed next to the trap this morning. It seemed slightly larger than the majority
I've been getting lately. With the dots in lines and evenly spaced and the grey/buff shading near the leading edge
I was thinking it could be a Willow Ermine. Can someone please confirm?

Thanks
Greg

Hi Greg

I'm not sure if you can ID Willow Ermine at the adult stage. As with most of the other ermines the NMRS guidelines request occupied larval web or bred only.
