The odd goose reported in Virginia is probably a hybrid of Canada 
Goose X Greylag Goose.  The Canada provides most of the body plumage 
while the Greylag brings in the bill and leg color plus the thick neck. 
The head color is usually a mess.  I have seen them in the past at Piney 
Run Park.  They have always appeared in fall/winter with large flocks of 
Canadas.
