ID- Pink-Footed or white-fronted Geese?

Regents Park Waterfowl Collection: Pink-Footed or (Lesser?) White-Fronted Geese? August 15, 2016. I believe the one on the bottom is an Egyptian Goose.
 
I agree with Egyptian goose. The others are a good puzzle as the best distinguishing features are the heads, bellies and legs - none of which are clear :confused:
I'd nominate pinkfeet, based on the brownish and ruffled neck feathers, but I could well be wrong. They might even be bean geese.
 
From memory I think the 'grey' geese in Regents Park are mostly Pinkfeets, though i could be wrong. I don't remember Greylags or Whitefronts there, Lesser Whitefront is tiny in comparison with WF (and more valuable too;)) so can be automatically ruled out.
 
@Pertinax I did see both Greylags and definite white-fronted at the park :p and the small and generally unhelpful signage listed Lesser White-Fronted. I can't seem to upload the photo of them in this comment for some reason so I will upload it to the main gallery.
