Met die lichte snavel en poten eerder Brandgans x Anser spec. dan Brandgans x Canadese Gans.

I agree, I think this could still be in the range of barnacle x greylag?

what do you think?

Greylag would be the most obvious choice for the Anser parent, yes.

How often do Anser x Branta hybrids have all-grey bill and legs, without a hint of pink or orange, like this bird?

why not a diluted-mutation of barnacle? Just wondering, but i don't see so much of greylag (or any Anser) pattern...

Alcedo atthis

I have seen grey lagegs and bill in Anser anser x Branta leucopsis; and also in Anser caerulescens x Branta leucopsis; both these hybrid combinations exist also with pinkish legs. However, from this i can not comment on how common this is , I can only say grey legs can occur in some Anser x Branta

Beak is much to massive for pure Branta leucopsis and the whole bird also gives a massive impression; also it is quite similar to some hybrids Anser anser x Branta leucopsis on a Swedish websiteon hybrid geese; I will try to find this again, but as i didn´t save the link I dont know if I will succeed in finding it...

Hij doet me wel aan deze denken, deze zit meestal hemelsbreed misschien 5km verder op.

Doesn't look very much the same for me. Rather obviously here is blood from canadensis in it.
