Narjess, this is Anser anser and suggested by BrunoMoller, and not Anser cygnoides. Domestic geese have different origins. In eastern Asia, the original domesticated geese are derived from the swan goose Anser cygnoides and are known as Chinese geese; this is not the one you have here.

the scientific name for the domestic goose is, Anser anser domesticus or Anser cygnoides.

Thank you very much for your comment and assistance. I just searched the scientific name "Anser anser" as you have suggested and got "Greylag goose" as suggested name, also called domestic goose. Thank you once again and Happy Spotting!
