Thank you everyone for your replies and info!
---------------------------------------------
Accordingly, I changed the ID to a hybrid of Domestic sp. x Canada Goose:
I also updated the written description with the inputs I received, which I self-quote here in part...
"... And as has been pointed out to me, it is the same known individual for this place, repeatedly mis-ID'd previously. I changed the species to a hybrid between Domestic x Canada Goose. As explained to me, it is too large to be a hybrid between a Greater White-fronted x Canada Goose. Also the extremely sturdy legs point towards a domestic vs Canada hybrid. The overall proportion (being heavy toward the rear) is another clue; perhaps a quarter hybrid as it might not be quite bulky enough for a half-breed..."
Thanks again for your help and good birding,
-Akira
