Hi,
the majority consensus is that this bird is a hybrid of CANADA GOOSE (CANG) and
domestic goose. If you believe otherwise, do send me your thoughts/opinions.
In the search for answers about hybrids, I stumbled upon two related internet
resources which I am sharing with you all:
1> index of photos and discussions of hybrid
birds:http://birdhybrids.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/index-of-hybrid-birds.html
2> Flickr photo group of hybrid birds
:https://www.flickr.com/groups/hybridbirds/pool/
the discussion page for the flickr
group:https://www.flickr.com/groups/hybridbirds/discuss/
thanks for the feedback,- Deapesh.

I think that this bird is a Canada Goose and Snow Goose hybrid; but I welcome
your thoughts/suggestions.
Here is the ebird report (along with the photos):
