    I have seen lots of these, assumed it was an image fault as it looks out of place. Worth asking!

    If you follow this link to view Curiosity on the Mars surface, http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_028335_1755 it looks very similar to your unidentified dot. check it out man.

    It could well be the sun glinting off a boulder that's got a polished surface.

    could it be lens flare from a very smooth and reflective piece of ice?
