Goose Berks (1 Viewer)

Hello Guys,

Anyone know what goose this is please?

There was a barnacle goose reported in this area I thought this might be it in winter plumage or something but it doesn't match RSPB id.

Is it just some sort of hybrid?

Got to be Ross's in it with that tiny bill. It almost reminds me of one of those South American sheldgeese!

Size would be a good clue to the other parent but it "looks" small even if it's hard to tell for sure, so (along with the dark parts being a very "cold" grey) Ross x Barnacle looks good for me.
