I'm guessing its an old goose, it's getting a little silver in its hair. Get it aged! Haha, that's a cool trophy!

We had a bonded pair on the Rocky Reach pool for a few years of a domestic graylag goose and a Canada that produced hybrid broods, it was the wild color (gray) graylag.  Most of the brood would look like Canadas mostly, a few were "blond" Canadas in appearance where the normal black was replaced by tan.  Don't recall any white patching but I'd imagine a white graylag might introduce white patches.  Or, just a leucistic individual.  Very cool regardless, and a beautiful unique bird.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.
