Bookmarking, so that I can find these photos again. Reviewing this ID. For me, it is serrirostris (Tundra Bean Goose).

OK. Well, I am going to call this Tundra Bean Goose - Anser [fabalis] serrirostris. The reason is that the bill is unmistakeably not that of a middendorffii. These are the two taxa that could conceiveably reach Phils. Here the bill is swollen at the bill insertion, and the posterolateral tomia (fancy way of saying the cutting edge of the mandibles near the bill insertion) show a very conspicuous "grin line" putting well in evidence the tomial serrations - not good for middendorffii. The bill of middendorffii is longer, more "graceful", and without this conspicuous "grin line". For further delucidation as to my decision on this bird, I have scanned a plate that might be self-explanatory. www.flickr.com/photos/22004717@N00/5060374902/
