can someone help identify something on a K50

A perspn has this K50 for sale but I see something inside mirror box that looks out of place. Almost looks like glass or mirror in wrong place (upper left in mirror box this photo)?  Any comments? It's 100 miles away so can't just run across town and check it out.  Thanks in advance

What you are looking at is the reflection of the focusing screen, seen through the mirror.

In case of doubt, I ask for more pictures from the seller.

In this case, it looks possibly like a reflection of something, but hard to tell for sure on such a small image.

It is the focusing screen. I just held up my SLR like that and I then see the focusing screen in that position.
