Weasel type (6)
I believe the answer is:
ermine
'weasel type' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for ermine that I've seen before include "Fur-bearing mammal" , "Stoat in northern regions" , "special trimmings" , "garb for nobility" , "In mere strange fur" .)
