I think it must be a speck of something on my lens. There’s a similar artifact on another photo I have from around the same time, in about the same light.
Honestly just looks like normal lens flare where the sun is blocked by a tree branch. The flare is lens-dependent, but it’s also dependent on conditions. I doubt one could reliably fingerprint someone based on lens flare unless OP is like one of a few people using this lens

So basically camera fingerprinting…
Better don’t use the camera while committing crimes! ;-)
Not ones where I’m looking up into the sun, in any case.
