Is it rust? I think its a cellphone pic but I can't tell what I'm looking at here. Is it the line in the rotor?

If I wash my car at night in the drive way the next morning I'll have a noticeable, but light coat of rust on my rotors, but it's gone after the first time I use the brakes.
BTW, I've got HPS pads also, my 2nd set.
