In contrast to the ordinary Tundra Bean Geese, this quite big, dark gray-brown goose has orange legs and a varied orange patch on the beak. The Graylag Goose and Pink-footed Goose's contrasting pale forewing regions are absent when in flight. Taiga bean-geese often have longer, more sloping bills than Tundra bean-gooses, which have shorter, thicker bills that can sometimes be difficult to distinguish in the wild. It winters in fields, marshes, and taiga, easily interacting with other geese.

Taiga Bean-Goose ID
The Taiga bean goose breeds in northern Europe and Asia; its name is the Taiga bean goose. According to some authors, this and the tundra bean goose are two distinct species, although the American Ornithological Society and the International Ornithologists' Union both acknowledge them as one species (collectively called bean goose). It migrates and spends its winters farther south in Europe and Asia.
