Immature bird

I couldn't make my mind up if this immature bird is a duck or goose. What do you think?
It's a beautiful shot you captured here, with the wings wide open, skimming the water with his beak. Great colouring on the neck.

As for goose or duck - I have absolutely no idea. If I had to bet on it, I would probably go for a duck; but it really is a flying guess. Hopefully someone comes up with a more knowledgeable reply.

I take my bet back.... lol. According to Google Lens, it's a goose!

Well the body is duck shaped! Did you see the beak? I am sure some of our nature buffs could identify it for you!

Wing span looks a bit large for a duck.
