I woulda guessed snow/speck cross, but the bill is odd.

snow/speck cross just because of the yellow feet.Do you have a lot of white fronts that migrate through where you hunt? If not it could be a canada mixed with a domestic goose thats white with yellow feet. That is definetly a different looking bird. Are you putting it on the wall?

Seriously though, the 2nd bird i shot last year was a big white farm gander gone wild that was flocked up with a bunch of canadas. Had a very similar body profile and bill shape to the one you got. I'm sure he did the buisiness with a few of the females in that flock before he got dusted too!

ya, some specks through here. sent these pics to DU and NGPC biologists, best guess is bean or lesser snow. not sure about the wall yet. Its a very unique bird.

it will be interesting to hear those bio-guys responses. i've had DU bio's tell me the drake gadwall i shot was a hen mallard at a survey station before.
