Dear Friends, It is definitely water trickling down. If you take a look at the branches going horizontally to the left, you will notice that the discoloration is on the top of the branch also. What beats me is why not on the sides. The tree stem and branches seem to be having plenty of nodes and the discoloration seems to be most along the nodes. Possibly the bark is more porous along the nodes as such absorbs more moisture and hence more soot or dirt sticking along the nodes. Regards Yazdy.
