It is a little female. the white coat is unusual, it is called lanugo and harbor seal pups usually shed it in-utero.

If you should find a pup, don't touch it or bother it. Call a local aquarium or Dept of Marine resources or coast guard (unless you are luck enough to have a marine mammal rehab center nearby). If you have the time stay with (or keep an eye on) the pup to keep people and dogs away from it. This is a great time to have a long lens!
