Judging by the cages handle and assuming thats 4 inches it puts that cridder about 15 inches long a good sized chicken fed mink. Strange it is not white for this time of year. In Michigan and in the summer I see a lot of dark brown mink around the trout streams. Our little sized wesals turn white for winter and I have not yet seen a mink in winter yet. Seen a lot of Ontario pine martins but they are endangered and considered nonexsistant in the lower pennisula. Be careful if you have martins in NY.
