The Greater White-fronted Goose Anser albifrons is a species of goose. The Greater White-fronted Goose is more closely related to the smaller Lesser White-fronted Goose A. erythropus. In Europe it has been known as simply `White-fronted Goose`; in North America it is known as the Greater White-fronted Goose or `Greater Whitefront`, and this name is also increasingly adopted internationally. It is named for the patch of white feathers bordering the base of its bill. But even more distinctive are the salt-and-pepper markings on the breast of adult birds, which is why the goose is colloquially called the `Specklebelly` in North America.
