Looks rusty. I suspect the pad material fell off the brake pad and all you have is the contact plate contacting that side of the rotor. I had this happen once. Your caliper slide pins can also need some lubrication and the whole assembly needs a good cleaning. Purchase some new brake pads and rotors for both sides and replace.
