If researchers needed a temporary way of marking adult birds, something like a
paint ball might work. It would be a lot less stressful for the bird than
repeated captures to read the information on the leg band.
Thinking about it though, capturing, marking with a non-toxic paint & releasing
might be what they're doing.

That would require capture and manual handling of the birds. A
permanent marking is ringing. Birds of prey are ringed in the nest if
I remember correctly.
A paint ball would be very strange, why would a sane person shoot
paint balls at a kestrel?
Kestrels like to sit on top of poles etc.

Great shot!
Do you have any idea how it got "painted”?
My google fu says that there is some temporary marking of wildlife with
paint. All the references I found were long technical pdfs. but it is
possible that it was done for research purposes.
