Is this a Cackling Goose?

Looking for your assistance to identify this Goose. From this angle it appears to have a rounder head and stubbier bill than a Canada Goose but I'm simply not sure.
As always, any assistance is most appreciated

It is probably a Canada Goose. Hard to tell from that angle.
The curve of the neck suggests Canada, because Cackling is straighter and upright.
The beak does not look stubby enough, like ridiculously stubby, get your attention stubby.

Thanks for the reply 'Shortsighted' - I'll have to watch for "ridiculously stubby, get your attention stubby" next time.
Cheers, Gary

a really good rule to use is "when in doubt" it's only a canada...you'll notice the cackling when you see them.
