Is the one with the white head an ordinary Barnacle Goose with an odd coloured head or sub-species in with the ordinary geese?

Taken at Caerlaverock WWT Reserve, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.

looks like a Snow Goose (dark morph)

Looks very strange to me; could be Barnacle x Snow Goose or Barnacle x Ross's Goose?

cheers, alan

I'd favour 'blue' Snow Goose, but agree Barnie × Snow is also a possibility. It's bigger than the Barnies, so Barnie × Ross's at least can be ruled out.

I would say hybrid Snow x Barnacle.
