I saw this goose with a flock of Canadas at San Carlos Cemetery in Monterey, CA this past Sunday, 10/10/21. I entered it into ebird as Domestic Graylag, but the reviewer disagrees and wants me to change it to Domestic goose sp. (Domestic type). I'm not suggesting here that the reviewer is wrong, but I am curious if anyone can tell me what it is, other than "a little bit Canada". I have more photos, but they are all pretty much identical to this one (taken in a burst) except that in one the bird had its head raised and turned slightly, so that you can see the crown (which is completely white). Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Happy birding and may the light be with you,

P.S., "Domestic goose sp. (Domestic type)" makes me wonder if there is a "wild type" of domestic goose. "Domestic goose sp. (Domestic type)" sounds a bit silly to me, it's like at Ike's Love and Sandwiches today, when they told me they were out of "vegan meatballs". I said "vegan meatballs" cannot be a thing, they should cancel themselves out and not be able to exist.
