Masked villagers

We see the villagers wearing masks from the moment Howie’s plane won’t start until they take them off as Howie says Get out of my way on the cliffs. Many are hard to figure out. Any ideas are welcome.

Scene by scene list

(Many character get repeated...)

Fintan’s list: fox, red deer, badger, weasel?, salmon, goose, goat, rabbit, cats,  poodle, owl plus another type of bird not sure what.., green frog or a toad, white faced bull

Fraser Davidson added possible Pinemartens and stoats? (There sure are some Pinemarten-like masks in there. The trouble is, where... Both golden and grey.)
