Need help identifying the goose in a cornfield with a mixed flock of
Canadian Geese & Mallards.  It resembles a Snow Goose, but has strange
markings and head shaped like a duck.  Thought maybe it could be a domestic
goose, or some hybrid, but based on it's location I'd be surprised if it
was a domestic goose.  There are no houses around the cornfield.  Pretty
much out in the country.  I also posted a few photos I took about a month
ago of a flock of Snow Geese, both Blue Morph & White, with at least three
Ross's Geese for comparison.  I'd appreciate any feedback that would help
me ID this goose.  I still want to say it's an immature Snow Goose, but I
could be wrong.
Thanks!
