Why so odd? Is there an other possibility than this hybrid?

The legs appear to be pinkish, not yellowish, so that would rule out Barnacle x Bar-headed or Barnacle x Emperor, I guess.

Sorry , I should´have worded this more precisely:

I think it is Snow x Barnacle, due to the leg coloration, belly coloration, bill pattern,tertials pattern and so on.


This hybrid combination is clear; I just wanted to share this with others.
"Odd bird" I just wrote as all these hybrids are some kind of "odd birds" even if you know the parentage...

Forgive me if I was misleading with that wording .
