What kind of goose is this

[amymini]

I just picked up this little goose someone caught it after it was walking down the street and almost got hit by a couple cars. I'm sure it's wild because it was found in a big city just would like to know what you guys think.

Are you in Europe? If yes, it could be a Greylag.

What about at greater white-fronted goose?

Depending on how West you are, it could be a white-fronted goose, if it has a white patch above the beak.

Looks like a greater white-fronted goose. Possibly still a little young, read: under a year old.

It looks a little small to be a Greylag to me. they tend to have stouter necks.

I'm fairly certain it's a Greater white-fronted goose. Looks much to slim to be a greylag, and greylags also don't have that type of coloring around their bills as GWF does.

In any case, it's illegal to harbor migratory birds under the migratory bird treaty act. I would suggest contacting either your fish and game department or a wildlife rehabber in your area and bringing him there.
