Barnacle goose : ウィキペディア英語版
Barnacle goose

The barnacle goose (''Branta leucopsis'') belongs to the genus ''Branta'' of black geese, which contains species with largely black plumage, distinguishing them from the grey ''Anser'' species. Despite its superficial similarity to the brent goose, genetic analysis has shown it is an eastern derivative of the cackling goose lineage.
==Taxonomy and naming==

The barnacle goose was first classified taxonomically by Johann Matthäus Bechstein in 1803. Its specific epithet is from the Ancient Greek ''leuko-'' "white", and ''opsis'' "faced".
In English, the term "barnacle" originally referred only to this species of goose and only later to the crustacean barnacles. It is sometimes claimed that the word comes from a Celtic word for "limpet", but the sense-history seems to go in the opposite direction.〔
