ID goose

I have just been given a goose/gander, the previous owner isn't sure what
sort. It is said to be a gander, it is 3 years old. It is a large bird,
about 25in high and 40in around. It is mostly white but grey/brown on the
head and upper neck and the wings. The bill is orange and the eyes blue.

Searching for internet images it looks most like a Normandy Goose. The
gender is confusing as one site says males are all white and females white
and grey. Another site says the reverse.

I would like to get some companions for him/her and end up with a gander and
say 3 geese.

Can anybody help me identify this bird.

David
