Egyptian Goose
Alopochen aegyptiaca
Brown and grey with dark brown eye-patches. Introduced as an ornamental species some escaped into the wild and are now successfully breeding in the wild. These are "Geese" in name only. They are actually a type of shelduck -- an intermediate species somewhere between geese and ducks. A group of Shelducks is called a dopping, so presumably this applies to Egyptian Geese too as they belong to the same family.
