Thanks Doug,
that's what I thought at first too.
I just tried it out on a DSLR and managed to reproduce the effect - it
is very probably the lens!
The effect appears when bright light comes in from more or less directly
above.
The colour of the splodge also seems to correspond to the colour of the
lens coating when viewed obliquely.
I'll try it again this afternoon with a lenshood.
Cheers
Douglas

It looks as if light is getting on to the film where it shouldn't. A
group of consecutive shots have it, others don't.
Is it lens flare? It may be imagination, but I think I see it in the
viewfinder when a Rollei 21mm lens is attached.
But:
It doesn't extend into the perforations
My first guess would be that it's coming in through the viewfinder. Since it
doesn't extend into the sprocket holes I believe the camera's film gate is
involved, which rules out processing, or any handling outside the camera. This
should also rule out a leak through the camera's back. I don't think it's lens
flare because it doesn't seem like there was a bright light source above and
outside the picture area.
