Anser cygnoides domesticus x anser domesticus
Robust body and slightly larger than a Canada goose. Brownish body with white rump and belly. Orange less. Beak black with white forehead and red spot near forehead. Small dewlap.
Ponds.
Some kind of hybrid with a BAGO perhaps a greylag. Non-Native. Could be a domestic escape or release.
The baggy dewlap and knobbed forehead plate are typical of African and Chinese Geese, but the plumage suggests Greylag in the lineage.
