Sean:
Amazing photos! I recommend you submit a report and photo of the band to
the USGS bird banding lab at Patuxent Research Refuge. They are at:

For the metal leg band you would normally need all the numbers, but the
colored one/s is unusual and since you got a great photo they may be able to
id it as a result.
There are specific color codes and number/letter combinations. You can read
more about color bands used specifically for Peregrines at:
