Odd goose in Germany (1 Viewer)

[TKbird]

Hello,

I was recently traveling in Germany and observed this goose at the English Garden in Munich. Clearly it has Bar-headed Goose genes, but I'm wondering what else might be involved. Partly domestic or a hybrid?

Thanks for any thoughts!

It is a rather typical barheaded x barnacle goose .

But note this hybrid is variable and much darker birds are possible in this cross (and also in other barnacle goose hybrids )
In this cross also light colored birds with a less pronounced black breast are possible .

Thank you!
