Unknown Goose, El Dorado, CA 17 April 2019 (1 Viewer)

This is a better picture of a bird I asked for help with back in January.
Closer shot, standing next to a Canada Goose. It appears significantly larger, heavier, and has orange legs and a predominantly white face.

The previous post came to the conclusion of Canada x Graylag. So Canalag or Granada depending on parentage. Just wanted to make sure that still holds. (It's for my niece, so I don't want to disappoint her!)

Thanks,

It is the hybrid as suggested.

It's a Canada x domestic Graylag. That's why it's so much larger than the wild geese.

With that pronounced forehead there are most likely even some domestic swan goose (=chinese goose) genes in this. The bill color however should be black in a cross canada x pure chinese goose. This is not the case here.

However, Chinese goose and domestic greylag often interbreed and the offspring is fertile.

this would be such hybrid offspring:

If one of such geese crosses with a canada , you could get something like your bird . So it is most likely canada goose x (chinese goose x domestic greylag goose)
