I'm using the R6 to take marching band pictures, and usually don't shoot completely wide open, though close to it. The picture below was taken on an R6, using a RF70-200 set at 153mm, F2.8, SS 800, ISO 12800. THe espose in different across the picture in a way I haven't seen before, and several pictures came out the same. Is it due to the uneven stadium lighting? I can improve it a bit change WB and doing some edits, but it is still visible. Some other pics are completely fine, same settings. I'd appreciate any input on what I might have done wrong here. Thanks!

I am not sure I got your question correctly: is it the colour variation on the faces ?

That's not your camera or you, it is the changing lighting across the stadium. The camera chose a WB for the entire scene and it happened that a spot light illuminated a face differently from the rest.

Your only option is see if your software can do local corrections of WB. If so, select the greenish face and adjust the WB to taste.
