Anser cygnoides
Large goose with bi-colored neck and all black bill. Brown crown and hindneck contrast strongly with pale creamy-brownish lower sides of head and foreneck. Large knob at the base of the bill (the wild form lacks this). It also can show a white patch behind the bill. It varies from wild type coloring (mostly gray with a dark line down the back of the otherwise white neck) to pure white.
Native to eastern Eurasia.
Sometimes called a Chinese goose.
