European Squirrel?

Pine Martens are quite large and sleek compared to the Sciurus family

in N. America, I would identify it as:

Note that the ears of a pine marten face towards you when they are looking at you, while a squirrel's ears are perpendicular to where they are looking

I saw it from much further than my picture shows it, and I was just puzzled by its color. I don't think it is a grey squirrel, I heard they are met in UK but I think it's not the case in Poland yet. Thanks Eric
