Default Goose hybrid

Got a speck/blue hybrid this morning. First one. Came in with a group of specks. Headed to the taxidermist!

What do you mean when u say specks on the belly? Did it have the black bars on its belly, or white splotches? Leucism is common in waterfowl (lack of pigment) so curious if it had the dark splotches like a speck. Can you show us a pic of the breast??

It had dark specks like a speck. No picks of the chest dropped him off to my taxidermist. He said he's only seen a couple but he confirmed.

Not all of them. A grown up blue is an eagle head. Some blues turn white.
