Yes, Common Kestrel it is.
Very good question, cause the seemingly symmetrical gap in each hand (caused by several missing primaries) is completely out of sync both with the timing of, and with the sequence of the normal moult of the species.
It looks to me more as if the bird has been symmetrically (?) plucked/or have had cut out the primaries in question.
I cannot, however, come up with a plausible explanation on how this might have happened.

Many thanks kindly dear Peter, I think it was not symmetrically , just for one wing.
