Is this beech marten? (1 Viewer)

Sometimes difficult on images, but I think this is Beech Marten - head structure, small ears, plus squat dark legs against paler body (this is very often noticeable on trail camera images, perhaps more than in the field). White on chest useful, but not really viewable on these images.
Both are common in north-east Poland, but habitat can help - Beech more often in open/broken habitat, Pine more often in more heavily wooded habitat. Behaviour can also help - in my experience, Beech rarely climb into trees, even if bait is available to them. Pine Marten up and down trees like yo yos, happy on the ground, happy in the trees.
