African/Chinese goose or a mix between the two?

I have a goose, Abbi, who I recently posted about being sick (she's doing wonderful by the way) and I was wondering if anyone would help me solve the breed problem. Abbi was given to me by my mother's friend, who told me she's an African, about four or five months ago.

My mother told me that she thought Abbi was growing slow so I researched and found that Africans mature within three years but I couldn't find if it meant growth or just laying and breeding. I've also noticed that her colors seem off to me; her neck is brown like a brown African but her wings and body are grey and a little brown, but she's also got a prominent white separation between her neck and body that I haven't seen Africans have. A friend recently showed me a brown Chinese, I only thought they came in white, but I didn't think Abbi looked like a Chinese.

Please excuse the mess, were moving and cleaning.

I couldn't get very good pictures, I'm sorry. I've also forgot to add that she has a bump but it's very small and her bill has orange on it, not flat black

She's probably a mix of African or brown Chinese with some other breed, like American Gray. I'm guessing this based on the small knob, the orange color marks on the bill, and the grayish coloring that is mixed into the plumage.

I was thinking brown African/Chinese but I was pretty sure she's a mix. Thank you
