Can anyone tell me what is causing this arc of deeper pigment on my EOS 6D

My EOS 6D has developed a strange arc  on my pictures. It is notthe lens-works fine on another body and a differnt lens produces the same arc so definitely the camera see picture. Less noticeable when zoomed in. Any suggestions would  be gratefully received so i  have some idea before taking it in for a repairIMG_0812.JPG

thank you trying to find a dust free environment where I live is not going to be easy but I will try my best.

Thank you for the advice - much appreciated

I normally agree with all Tim Campbell suggests except this time.  You don't sound like an experienced photographer.  If that is true I think you should not mess around inside the mirror box as Tim opines.  There are things in there that don't respond well to mistakes!  A professional C&C by Canon is your best option.

Try to change the lens when conditions are better.  I don't know why I even said that because if I need to change a lens, it gets changed. No matter where I am !  Oh, well it's just part of the game.

Smart.   Let a professional take a look at it.  Hopefully, he will show you what he does.
