I took this photo in Hillsburgh, Ontario, last winter. There are at least 3 Greater White-fronted Geese marked by red dots. They are obvious. Is the goose marked by the yellow dot a Cackling Goose? It is way smaller and has smaller markings than the rest.

Additionally I think there's a Cackling Goose right in front of the left-most Greater white-fronted Goose.  The bird I'm referring to is pointing to the left while the GWFG it is in front of is pointing right.

Thanks for the reply Thomas. And yes Rotarran,there could easily be more than 1 Cackling Goose in that mix.
