Magellan/Upland Goose

The male Magellan Goose is white with black markings (top row) while the female (above) is mainly a ruddy orange colour with close black banding from the neck down.

Male Lesser Magellans from the north of their range have a white breast/belly and from the south they are closely banded from the neck like the female but black & white.

Intermediate range Lesser Magellan males show part white breasted, part banding, as below left. Females always have close banding.
