Sorry if this is too morbid. Found this dead along NCT / Beaver Run while hiking. Wanted to confirm ID. I selected fisher due to size and 4 back teeth (versus 3) - but I am not sure. Are martens common in this area? Mink? Looked to be fairly fresh- did not see indications of predators / weapon marks and it appeared to be very thin.

Bird banding by federally-permitted bander.
I'm choosing the top suggestion because it looks the most similar and I know very little about these creatures.
