Does Battlecast Urgot's new splash hint at a flying Battlecast skin?

We've been here before, but as a recap for the uninitiated there have been hints in the past that Anivia was going to get a Battlecast skin.

http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m83kuqiHv41rxv753o1_400.jpg "ANV" called out http://apollo-na-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/1392508132857/HiddenChamp.jpg A winged figure in the background of Battlecast Vel'koz http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130906013237/leagueoflegends/images/b/b1/Viktor_Recall.png Same winged figure in Creator Viktor's recall animation

Those have been considered old news for a while, considered an idea that didn't work out. But then we got this...

Right below the explosions of Urgot's cannons there's... something. It doesn't look like part of the rocky landscape, nor a piece of debris, nor a wisp of smoke. It looks like something flying. We know it's not Vel'Koz, because he's right next to Urgot.

Could this be a hint that Battlecast Anivia is under construction once again?

I dont think that is Anivia, however, it could be a new champion called "Anv... something else"

The ANV was Anivia, but the ones in Vel and Viktor's splash/recall I don't think were ever meant to be Anivia. I think that was something else. It always appeared to be more of like a sting-ray kind of thing rather than a bird.
