It may, as you say, belong to someone because people can own pigeons for racing, etc. However, it may simply be a bird that was banded in a bird banding program. At Springbrook we band anything we catch that we are entitled to band, which is anything besides a hummingbird or waterfowl. I know it is not on of ours. With rare exception, we don't use colored bands. Just the silver aluminum.
Report it here, either way: https://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bbl/bblretrv/index.cfm You should hear back in a couple of days.
