Leucistic Canada Goose

Warrenton, Virginia

Field full of Canada Geese with only one displaying leucistic plumage. Took several image, none showed this one's lower body & legs.
Spotted what I believe to be the very same goose on 9 March; this time, I had clear shots of its entire markings.
Believe this to be a hybrid between a Graylag and Canada Goose.
This goose appears to be larger than the surrounding Canada geese.
