It looks like a goose but doesn't match with all the goose mentioned in the Bird of Hong Kong and South China

Pink bill, orange legs, unmarked belly and dark underwings fits to juvenile Greater White-fronted Goose.

I agree with Tung that this is a young Greater White-fronted Goose.

It's amazing that geese have been turning up on very similar dates in HK for the last five years - always on the first or second Monday of November!
