Could a Canada goose also be one of the parents?

It´s rather greyish  and the black goes relatively far down - so I was thinking Barnacle x barhead is more likely.

But as always more photos would help

That's what I thought.
But I'm not sure about its feet colour: orange...
but Bar-headed geese (A. indicus) have yellow feet.

This bird has orange feet, Anser (why not Branta?) indicus too. Not a problem, I assume.

Not orange but undoubtly yellow feet.

OK. Dark yellow or light orange then. ^_^

This here would be a hybrid canadensis x indicus.... you see with this example this hybrid can also be quite grey (but in general with a tendency to be more brownish than indicus x leucopsis), but black is not going that much down on breast.

Therefore for the initial bird indicus x leucopsis
