Canada Goose x domestic Greylag Goose
This bird seems to be a hybrid between a barnacle and gray lag goose.

Liam, I agree that the best bet is Greylag X Cananda. Thnx :)
It does have a hooded appearance, but note in my link the Greylag x Canada also shows a hooded face.http://www.flickr.com/groups/hybridbirds...
ahha, found the right word. The face has a hooded appearance.http://www.ducks.org/hunting/waterfowl-i...

Liam compare this link with pic no2,http://www.google.com/imgres?q=barnacle+...See the patch on the head? the square face?
I can see why you would say Barnacle hybrid, but a Barnacle Goose hybrid would be nearly impossible in California, and I'm not really seeing any definite traits of Barnacle Goose.
Liam,look at the second picture and you will know why I said Barncle.
How about Barnacle x greylag?
Interesting hybrid for sure. My guess would be Canada x Greylag.http://www.flickr.com/groups/hybridbirds...
