Is it a light or dark goose?

[Wally Dog]

Saw this funky colored bird last week in/around an urban pond. Last year it had a mate of the same color. They appear, then leave in the spring as though they are in fact migrants.......

Cool...Even his feet/legs are the wrong color...

Looks like he's been swimming around in a wading pool full of Clorox... ...

Leucistic, eh, oh. It looks only partially leucistic.

I looked it up, here's some leucistic alligators.

I think it has cross bred with a domestic goose or maybe a swan? Good pic though./
