Guessing a Canada/Snow Goose X. It does not look like any of the Canada/domestic hybrids that I have seen. There is a Snow Goose hen that has wintered in our area for 3 winters with a flock of Canada geese. One of the ganders appears to be her mate, but they have never returned with any young birds. Maybe this year?

I don't know what it is except for a beautiful goose! Was it in your yard?

Could it be an albino? I don't know if that's possible in waterfowl.

I believe albinism is possible in almost every animal, including reptiles and even some amphibians. That is one beautiful bird!
