Is there any significance to the mostly yellow bill with black tip? And the yellow legs and feet? With little experience in picking apart weird plumages, I also leaned toward domestic or hybrid and away from Canada because of those marks. Unless leucism can impart those color shifts as well.

Very large and whitish, but with some "wild-type" markings. Looked mostly domestic but obviously flying around with Canadas.

It's either that or a domestic type.
