New bird in town?

[Misty Blue]

I was raised in Manchester where there were tons on grey pigeons around our tenement. I mean everywhere. They were pretty cool to watch and to chase as well.
So this evening there was a winged blast from my past on my beach on Braun Bay. After more than sixty years on the Lake this is a new one to me.
It had a blue band on it's left leg and maybe it was a carrier pigeon or on some kind of race bird.
Any ideas?
