Observation details
Clearly a goose, with overall body/wing/neck proportions similar to Canada Goose. Backlit against a gray sky, what first caught my eye was the flight style. Wing flaps seemed crisper and less ponderous than Canada Goose. White with black tips of primaries makes it either Snow or Ross's. My ID of Snow Goose is based on the relatively long neck and a heavier and longer bill than I'd expect on a Ross's. Photos, unfortunately only from behind.
