White headed canada Goose (1 Viewer)

[Helsinki Birder]

Hi All,

Does anyone out there have, or know of any photos of "white headed" variants of Canada Goose?
The sibley guide shows variants of Canada goose which can have increased levels of white (or decreased levels).
Has anyone come across such birds in the field?

Just these, but I don't know if this is what you (& Sibley) had in mind:

Thanks for those. These are actually quite similar to what i have seen. Only the white area on the head of my bird was a more neatly defined. Its good to see that such variants do indeed occur.
