Is this a cafe au lait spot?

Noticed last night that my daughter suddenly has this light brown patch on her shin, almost 'tea' coloured. I have never noticed it before. We have our 8 week check on Monday, so will ask the doctor about it then, but does this look like a cafe-au-lait spot or pigmentation?

I find it quite hard to tell against her skin as it can be quite mottled. In certain lights you can barely see it at all.

Could be, both my DC didn't have them at birth but they developed over the years. I have them too!
