My guess is a Emden/African Goose hybrid. African geese have that dark stripe down the back of the neck. The white face would point to the Emden, which were originally derived from the Graylag.

Struggling with an ID. The photos are poor from an iPhone. There was a domestic duck wading near by, perhaps it is a domesticated bird? https://plus.google.com/116879062136890706601/posts/DhJVLDwtewm ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
