Anser (x Branta, Cygnus)

📷 This image is labeled as Emperor x Greater White-fronted Goose (https://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/NDG/BRKEmperor.html) but I believe it matches EMGO x Lesser White-fronted Goose better.

https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/281542131, https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/262428651 - both of these examples appear to be (close to?) wild-types. See Bird Hybrids for more examples of wild-type Graylag x Swan Geese.

📷- Comparison of the shape of the base of the bill. Note the flatter vertical appearance of both Swan Goose and Graylag Goose, and the more angular pushed-in shape of Canada Goose. Graylag x Canada Goose and Swan x Canada Goose hybrids tend to have an intermediate shape between these two.

Perhaps surprisingly, in most Anser x Cygnus hybrids, the goose parent is a Graylag x Swan Goose hybrid itself (See Graylag x Swan Goose x Mute Swan). Below are individuals that are potentially just Graylag Goose x Mute Swan, but it is often uncertain unless parents are observed.
