Observation details
Small, white goose with short, pink bill. Black primaries. Not sure this is a full Ross's. Grin patch and forehead slope look like the hybrid "Lesser" Snow Goose x Ross's Goose. Straight border at base of bill and some bluish color look good for Ross's, as does the diminutive size and short neck.
