Yes, looks like a hybrid. Probably Canada x Greylag (Barnyard) Goose.

Good point thouc. By the numbers, most likely Greylag. He looks a lot like the Sibley illustration for Greater White-fronted Goose/Canada Goose hybrid. The different black bill seems less common for hybrids of all sorts. Legs thick and very yellow.
