I pictured this bird from a long way off so I don't recognize it. Can anyone help please.

Just looks like one of those mixed Geese to me, the ones you often find in parks etc.

I agree it has Bar Headed as one of the parentage but don't think it's pure Bar headed - don't recall seeing so much black on top of head or on mantle in the ones we have locally (of captive origin but with 2/3rd gen.breeding 'wild'). Bill seems a bit white dom. to me too .... either way, it's a feral/domestic bird, which is perhaps what Joern meant

Can't see any bar-head here. Just a mongrel mix of white and brown domestic goose, wild ancestor all greylag.
