I saw the red dot as well and wanted to know what it was.

Mars is my first thought due to the reddish hue.

But word around my Hotel was that it was Mercury, since it was so close to the sun.

EDIT: Sounds like the red dots were "Baily's Beads", a phenomenon where the sun's lights get warped by bouncing around the moon's valleys and mountains before coming back out in a random direction.
