Pilgrim or Toulouse? You decide...

About a month and a week ago, I was given some goose eggs to try and hatch. Unfortunately, only one of the eggs hatched and we are raising a single gosling. The lady that gave me the eggs to hatch was also given the eggs so she has NO idea what they are supposed to be. Our little "Lucy" is a week old today and we are curious to what she will be when she grows up. We are thinking a Pilgrim or a Toulouse based on pictures online and limited research. Does anyone with more experience have any suggestions? We are familiar with chickens and ducks, but this goose is a whole new adventure! Any and all help is appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Maybe buff African? I was reading somewhere on here or maybe on metzer farms to tell the difference. And it's the beak. I think one is concave and the other is convex.

We have 1 single goose that is 2 weeks old. Her name is also Lucy and looks identical. I would like to know what she is too. We were told she was a buff but we are unsure. We have ducks but this is our first goose too. Good luck with your Lucy and if you find out what she is, please post!

She looks just like my Toulouse's when they were babies.

UPDATE! Our sweet Lucy is now 5 months old and doing well

. She is an indoor/outdoor goose. Here is what she looks like now.

What breed do you think she is?
