IJsselmeer Netherlands - Canada Goose (what kind) (1 Viewer)

[Frank-birding]

Today I saw a sole Canada Goose (Markermeer, part of the IJsselmeer, mid-Netherlands). It appeared smaller (apparently only slightly smaller in size compared to neighbouring Egyptian Goose). It didn't quite look the same as the large Canada Goose that's quite common in the Netherlands. Apart from the smallish size, also its frontal head shape was "steeper" and its neck shorter. Although the bill is medium sized (excluding Cackling i think).

Any help in ID-ing this bird is much appreciated.

Regards,
Frank
