The only birds that "tumble" are either Abyssinian Rollers, Coracias abyssinicus, (http://www.camacdonald.com/birding/Sampler2_Rollers.htm) Here are some pics of them, but those are a tropical bird and quite blue or domestic birds. The other possibility and much more probable from what you say are roller or tumbler pigeons. They come in many colors, including magpie marked. I would guess without any more information that you're seeing a lost Birmingham Roller that rolling in flight.
