Mink do not turn white in the winter and AFAIK neither do marten/sable.
Ermine are considerably smaller than either mink or marten/sable and when
in the white phase they have a distinctive black tip on the tail.

maybe mink but sable and mink are
pretty much the same thing. The white
could be what some old heraldry
called ermine. Mink/Sable/Ermine all
go through color changes due to
winter. Dark in the spring, the white
for cold snowy times. Either way, I'd
say these are the same family of
furred critters.
