5D Mark III Sensor Issue (?)

There appears to be sensor discoloration and it's ALWAYS in the lower right corner at high(er) ISO, starting at around 16000 and gets more visible at 51200 and 102400. Not that I will be shooting at such ISO on regular basis but since I bought 3500 dollar camera, I would expect it to be nearly flawless. The files were default processed in DPP. If, indeed, I bought a camera with a faulty sensor, I still have time to return it for a replacement ..... or refund. Can someone, anyone, share thoughts on this?
Thanks,

Here's same scene at 25600..... barely visible. The 12800 and lower are clean. RAW->JPG in DPP as is, no adjustment. ALO on @standard.

Does this still occur if you cover the entire back of the camera?
Does this still occur if you cover the lens barrel?
In other words, see if you can find a place where light might be leaking in. At ISO 102,400 it would not take much light leak to cause that effect. Use a dark towel or a dark jacket, or similar, to provide the cover. Try to block any extraneous light from the above three areas.
