Actually, with a bill like that, I'd be inclined to go for Greylag X Cananda.

Yes, looks like a Greylag x Canada to me. Not all that uncommon in my part of the world amongst the plagues of 'feral' geese.

[Colin Key]

Looks very much like an Anser bernard matthews to me!

I was going for the Canada cross joe but I kept quiet as I am not really a birder - I just photograph the damn things and worry about what they are later.
