Yes, like others have said, it's the ND or just plain IR filter. Hopefully that is clear and you know how your camera is put together, kinda important.
Anyways, I smudged mine with I installed the mask a few weeks ago. Just took a lens cloth and wiped it right off. These days I worry less about stuff like this and just get out and work. Easier on the soul than anguishing on it for days. Grab a brand new cloth and whip that sucker right off.
