Goose ID help needed (Washington Park, Denver)

[Sharon]

This goose has been hanging around Grassmere Lake in Washington Park, Denver, for the past few days. It is with a huge flock of Canada geese. My husband took the attached image. Could it be a juvenile Snow Goose? Any ID help would be appreciated.

I would say juvenile Snow Goose. The bill looks a little big to be a Ross’s. The grey blush on white plumage makes me think it is a juvenile. Sibley has a good drawing.
