[QUOTE="Darrell Clegg, post: 30249, member: 84"] In that case I'd definitely say that Lesser White-front is one of the parents, as well as the features I stated earlier, it also has orange legs. As for the other I know what you mean when you mention Emperor Goose, but I would have expected a bit more scaling in the plumage. I have to say I'm stumped, perhaps one of the other small arctic geese like Ross's Goose is involved - but then the body colour would be paler - Blue Ross's Geese are very rare. I'm not aware of Lesser White-fronted Goose ever showing partial albimism but it could also be a possibility. A friend of mine - Steve Madge is coming to my house tonight ( he wrote the definitive book on wildfowl id) I'll show him the photos and get back to you Darrell [/QUOTE]
