Taiga Bean Goose

The taiga bean goose is 68–90 centimetres long with a wingspan of 140–174 centimetres and a weight of 1.7–4 kilograms; in the nominate subspecies males average 3.2 kilograms and females 2.84. The bill is black at the base and tip with an orange band across the middle, and the legs and feet are bright orange. The upper wing-coverts are dark brown, as in the white-fronted and lesser white-fronted geese, but with narrow white fringes to the feathers. The voice is a loud honking.

The taiga bean goose breeds in northern Europe and Asia and is migratory, wintering further south in Europe and Asia. There are three subspecies, with complex variation in body size and in bill size and pattern; generally size increases from north to south and from west to east. The taiga and tundra bean geese diverged about 2.5 million years ago and made secondary contact about 60,000 years ago, resulting in extensive gene flow. (Wikipedia, general species account)
