Dina, I'm by far an expert but I don't think color is related to diet but rather the genetics of the female (and the species, of course). Pigment is added to the egg as the shell is forming and supposedly adds strength to the egg. In terms of the blotchiness we see in some of the eggs, I'm guessing pigment is not added consistently.

In songbirds it is believed that the darker the spot, the weaker the shell and thus more pigment is added for strength. I have no clue if that applies to falcon eggs.

I'm sure others will have more knowledge in this area...but, sounds like a great research question.
