I too think it is a roller, but Im not completly sure.

[spirit wings]

it is kinda sitting crooked, but if it holds it's tail up above it's wing tips it may be an oriental roller.

Looks like a roller to me too. The band info would be helpful, especially if it says NBRC, which is the national birmingham roller club. And I stared at that picture for a long time, what's up with its...wing feathers I think?

Theres a good chance it could also be a high flyer. I have had high flyers in the past that look like this fellow.

If it holds its tail above its wings and has 14 or more tail feathers its an oriental roller.

How do you think it got in?

Have you found out who's it is?

[LokotaLoft]

I agree looks like a tippler to me too .

[MaryOfExeter]

Color and eyes looks typical for highfliers like tipplers. But just from the way it's shaped, makes me think it's a roller. Of course it could be a tippler too, maybe just the angle of the head in the picture makes me think its a roller.

[TipplerBeni]

could be a roller tippler cross. I say stick it to your loft an see if it flips than we will know what it is lol.
