Does it show up in all photos, no matter where you take them?  That looks like vehicle tail light to me.

5D IV had the same but firmware 1.0.4. solved the problem.

"Fixes a phenomenon in which a red-colored area may appear at the bottom-center of a captured image when shooting in bulb mode or during a long exposure."

When I tried some long exposures with my two 6D I got the same red light with my new 6D (but not the old). Only visible at really high ISO so I didn't care about it. I tried today with ISO H2 and 30 seconds. No red light. Strange.

At that time, some months ago, I thought it was light leak or something from my 24-105/4L IS. I put my new 6D in a dark room and got the same red spot at ISO H2 and ISO H1 and 30 seconds. Tried to remove it with a dark frame but no really luck.

Tried again with 24-105. Visible. With 70-200, not visible. Seems to be 24-105/4L IS at wide focal length like 24 mm but not 50 mm or 105 mm.
