The description and photos still look good to me.

The description and photos show the diagnostic features of a Cackling Goose.

As the observer said, this one is likely a typical minima Cackling Goose.

I still maintain that the pictures alone clinch this bird for me.

Hardy--Reject, specific identification not established

I think this is a good candidate for a minima, but there is not a good size description, and I am not able to judge size from the photos - though the bird certainly looks smaller than the surrounding geese.
