I think it is a Ross Goose.  They weigh under 3 pounds.  Snow geese are under 6 pounds.  The bill is the big giveaway.

She is a very pretty little goose.... that bill is very different than your ducks.  That is so cute - hope she stays.

A Ross' goose has black on the beak and not such a large opening on the side.  It's definitely a snow goose, but it must be a lesser, because it does seem kind of small.  It's strange that only 1 turned up there.

Thats kinda what i thought, a ross's billl is a lot smaller than a white's and makes it looks like it was breed like a call.
Who know's, kinda pretty though.
