definately a racing pigeon. my grandfather was an avid flyer. if the bird has a rubber band type band as well as a permanent aluminum band it was part of an organized race. if you catch the bird you can contact the american racing pigeon association with the band number and they will notify the owner. www.pigeon.org. they fly both young bird and old bird races, young bird are yearlings, old bird have already raced a season. birds are raced from 100 miles up to at least 500 miles from home. the rubber band is removed as soon as the bird returns to the loft, band is placed in a special clock that time stamps the exact time band is placed in the clock. a lot of money is spent on that sport. the birds are quite valuable if they fly good.
