Observation details
This odd goose was with a handful of Canada Geese that were foraging on the shoreline near the public boat launch. At first I figured it was a leucistic Canada Goose, since there was a large area of white on the face, and it appeared to be a normal Canada Goose, otherwise. A closer look revealed a bit of extra white elsewhere on the body plumage, as well as colored legs, orange or pinkish. I took several photos, and will check them later for a better description of this odd bird. It was chased about by one of the Canada Geese, just before all of them went into the water, with the odd goose being the last one in. This bird was did not look pot-bellied to me, so it might not be a CANG X domesticated goose.
