Observation details
Large goose with orange legs & feet, white immediately behind bill (as Greater White-fronted Goose), diffuse/ill defined face pattern, slightly stout/chunky overall shape, looking much like Canada Goose. I sent photo to an experienced birder I admire. He explained that large Canada hybrids are "considered a hybrid with domestic goose and Graylag is the normal expected parent culprit." So I entered this as such. I welcome identification help. I pointed out this goose to Jim Cummins, and I asked him to share feedback he receives about its presumed identification. Jim also photographed it. His photos are likely nicer.
