Hola Szabo, a mi me parece también A. fabae, pero su parecido con A. albiforms y A. erythropus es mucha !! Creo que ha de intervenir un experto :-)

Acertado fondo y muy buenas iluminaciones, aunque con excesico ruido (grano).

Saludos y buena semana: J. Ignasi.

hello Szabo
I believe that yes is Bean Goose, the clarity does not help, the scene is good with a fine pose the bird,but very enlarged!
TFS thanks for sharing

Hi Szabo
the dark face between the eye and the bill is very typical for juvenile Anser albifrons

Hello Jozsef,
A fine capture of what I think is a hybrid between Anser anser and A. fabalis. Taken from a fine low lateral POV with good sharpness, though there is some BG noise.
Thanks and have a good week,
Ivan

Hi Jozsef,
I believe that this is a juvenile Anser albifrons, although you can never be sure with geese :)
Why do I tend to A. albifrons rather than A. fabalis or A. anser? The bird you presented to us has a darker feather colour near the base of the bill, contrasting with a paler cheek (A. fabalis has a whole dark face, A. anser rather paler). The other thing is that feathers seen on the upper part of the body don't seem to have clear white borders - both of the other species do present clearly visible white borders. In addition, there is no dark part of the bill. A partly dark bill is, in general, a feature of A. fabalis.

So, my guess is a juvenile Anser albifrons.

Hi Szabo,

Nice closeup capture of the beautiful mallard with great details! I like the sharpness and POV here with great natural colors. A great contrast can be seen between the colors of the mallard and the green surroundings.
Well done!

Sorry, I can't help you in identifying this bird.

best regards,
Paras
