Goose ID help needed - Belgium (1 Viewer)

[Wallander]

Allot of (friendly) discussion among some friends concerning this goose. Can you please help us ID-ing it???

What are your thoughts about it? I don't give anything of aou ID's so you can analyse with an open mind

Many thanks in advance 🙏+🍻

The colours seem to be off and I can't see the tail well enough, but based on the short neck, rounded head, and short bill this looks like a Pink-footed Goose to me. I guess the confusion is with Tundra Bean Goose, as the bill colour appears a bit yellowish in the first picture?

Cheers,

My immediate thoughts were Pink-footed too when I saw this but it really isn’t the clearest of images to apply much forensic analysis to! (no offence meant 🙂)

An image of it standing might help!

agree to all stated ....

most likely pinkfoot from these pictures

Isn't the bill color atypical? Shouldn't there be black at the tip and ending?

I think you can see the black nail quite clearly on the picture where the bird is standing. The basal area of the bill usually shows more extensive black markings, but this varies just as it does for Tundra Bean Geese.
