Great capture; I wonder what happens to the phrase 'birds of a feather flock together' in this case.

I am now leaning towards a Domestic Greylag Goose due to the leg colour; short neck and heavy belly.

My guess would be a hybrid between a Canada Goose and a domestic Graylag Goose. A pure Graylag Goose would have orange legs and bill. I have seen a few examples online of Canada x Graylag (wild form) with pink bill. Bill shape is also in-between Canada and Graylag and you can see a hint of the Canada Goose face pattern.
