Description
With a plump body, long neck, and wings that extend beyond the tip of the tail, the lesser white-fronted goose is distinguishable from other geese by its bright yellow eye-ring, round head and small, bright red bill. The back, belly and sides are almost uniformly brown, but there is a white blaze on the face and the belly may have black patches in adults. The head and neck are both dark brown. Juveniles lack the white blaze and black belly patches (4).
