Canada goose unusual? markings

I saw a canada goose this week with a stripe around the base of the neck. It looked very much like the stripe you would see on a mallard. I know mallards will mate with anything they can get close enough to...

My question is: Has anyone else seen this sort of marking? Is it possibly just an early stage of molting? Sorry - no picture, but I now have a cell phone that takes crappy pictures - so maybe in the future I will think of using it for that sort of thing.
 
We had one with similiar markings last year on the Hudson River.

Russell, I saw a small one on lake Hartwell about two years ago mixed in with a bunch of regular canadas, he was not much bigger than a mallard, I thought he must have been a cackler since he was in upstate South Carolina. It was two weeks before the season opened here. Just my luck. Or he would be on the wall under my goose I killed when the season was first opened here in SC.
 
A white ring around the base of the neck is a characteristic of giant canadas. It was obvious but not to the degree of a drake malard.
 
That's a cackler. While not common on the East Coast, they are occasionally about. I shot one about 20 years ago, and then someone I know shot one this year and we discussed it. Pretty cool bird for the east. Here is a link to an article on dusky geese with several pictures of cacklers:
